Inspiration de saison 2011

Inspiration de Saison 2011 is a vintage champagne from Michel Loriot, Apollonis, with Meunier as the main grape: 50 per cent Meunier, 30 per cent Chardonnay, 20 per cent Pinot Noir. The grapes come from HVE-certified farming. The grapes were pressed to classical music. Only 2,500 bottles exist of this extra brut cuvée, which makes it a rarity.

The nose begins floral and leads to honey and fresh citrus fruit. The palate is fruity, energetic and generous, with quince, honey, hazelnut and lemon. The finish brings blossom and salt. The maturity of the vintage gives the wine complexity without taking away its freshness. Serve it at 9 to 11 °C in a white wine glass. It suits the aperitif, cod carpaccio or marinated goat's cheese.
