Tasting Notes

The hallmark of an easygoing year, the Millésime 2018 Brut is strong in character and beautifully balanced due to an equal part blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier.

  • Appearance: the colour of fine gold with delicate flashes of silver as it gleams and glistens in tune with the effervescence. The gossamer-fine bubbles are packed full of energy, suggesting a wine full of promise.
  • Nose: exquisite primary aromas underpinned by fruity, floral notes. Aromas of white plum and lemon also emerge. As the wine begins to breathe, new fragrances of almond and verbena come to the fore.
  • Palate: lovely body, characterised by rounded character and finesse, largely driven by the Pinot Noir. Generous and soft, effusing notes of white plum and gooseberry that pave the way for gentle spice nuances of fennel seeds and ginger. An explosion of freshness through citrus rind flavours of kumquat and clementine, and preserved lemon.
    A hint of liquorice on the finish is a soothing touch, where delicate, thirst-quenching qualities work well with the wonderful length.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a vintage champagne ?

A vintage champagne is made exclusively from grapes harvested in a single, exceptional year. Unlike non-vintage champagnes, which are blends of wines from several years, these bottles capture the unique essence and reflect the climatic characteristics of their year, offering depth and aromatic complexity that evolve over time.

These bottles are, by definition, rarer.

At what temperature and how should champagne be served?

Depending on when you plan to drink it, the ideal temperature ranges from 7 to 12 degrees Celsius. For an aperitif, a cool temperature of between 7 and 8 degrees is best. For meals, a temperature between 10 and 12 degrees is fine.

Serving champagne: hold the bottle by the base and pour the champagne gently in several stages if necessary. Ideally, champagne should be served in a specific glass, such as our "Absolu" glass.

How long can champagne be stored?

Unlike some wines, champagne is not designed to age indefinitely. However, certain bottles can be kept for several years under optimal conditions.

  • Non-vintage champagne: This type of champagne is generally ready to drink as soon as it is purchased and can be kept for around 2 to 3 years without any loss of quality.
  • Vintage champagne: These champagnes, produced from a single exceptional harvest year, have a longer aging potential. They can be stored for 5 to 10 years, or even longer, depending on the initial aging time of the cuvée.

In both cases, it is important to consume the champagne before its quality begins to decline. The delicate aromas and effervescence can diminish over time, even under the best conditions.

How should I store my bottle of champagne?


To preserve your champagne quality, it is important to store it away from light, at a constant temperature (ideally between 10°C and 12°C). Storing bottles horizontally is ideal to ensure that the cork remains in contact with the liquid.

A well-ventilated cellar with a humidity level between 70% and 85% is the best option.
