Cuvée Paradis Brut 2013

The Paradis 2013 from Alfred Gratien combines 65% Chardonnay with 35% Pinot Noir. The nose opens fresh and clear with grapefruit, then a slightly iodine note and exotic fruits such as passion fruit, pineapple and lime join in. Fine brioche tones add depth. On the palate it feels soft and delicate, with green apple, fresh redcurrants and rhubarb. Chalky minerality draws a taut line through to the finish.

Already drinkable today, this vintage shows its full potential from 2023. We recommend 10 to 12 °C and a wide white wine glass or a Burgundy glass. With shrimp on brioche toast, langoustines, or chicken and pork loin in cream sauce, its freshness holds its own. The cuvée de prestige comes in a gift box.
