Marie Léopold

Marie Léopold is the most personal cuvée in Michel Loriot's Apollonis range. It is dedicated to the oenologist Marie, Michel's daughter, and at the same time bears the name of Léopold, the winemaker's great-grandfather. The base is 70% Meunier and 30% Chardonnay from HVE-certified farming. With a dosage of 20 g/l, the champagne is deliberately softer than a classic brut. There are only 1,000 bottles of this cuvée.

In the glass you see a fine perlage. The nose recalls spring flowers and freshly squeezed orange juice, with a slightly toasted note added. On the palate it feels creamy and gently sweet, with small yellow grapes providing freshness. It goes with foie gras, with desserts and with dark chocolate. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass, which shows off the floral aromas well.
