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 blend incorporates a portion of still red wine to add depth and structure. The champagne undergoes six years of aging on the lees in the Maison's cellars, followed by a minimum of six months of resting after disgorgement with a dosage of 5 g/l.
