The vineyard

The grapes are sourced from the Le Mont Benoit vineyard, located in the village of Villers-aux-Noeuds.

Old vines, some dating back to 1962, provide natural concentration and a clear expression of the terroir.

Ideal combination

Fish

Fish pairs best with white and rosé wines: they don't overpower the taste and suit different cooking methods.

Match

Poultry

Poultry works with light white wines — Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc — or soft reds like Pinot Noir, Grenache.

Match

Sushi

Sushi and sashimi pair well with light, high-acid white wines — they refresh the palate and let the delicate flavour of the fish come through.

Match

Winemaking

This champagne is produced using the saignée method with Pinot Meunier, fermented with native yeasts in oak barrels without chemical additives. After ageing on the lees for four years, the wine is disgorged with a minimal dosage of 3 g/L to preserve its precise, extra brut style.
