Palmyre

Palmyre bears the name of Michel Loriot's great-grandmother. As a Brut Nature it needs no dosage at all, which gives it a clear, taut line. The cuvée is made up of 67% Meunier and 33% Chardonnay, harvested in Festigny in the Marne Valley. The vines are HVE-certified, and bottle ageing took place on lattes. The Chardonnay noticeably shapes the style and brings elegance. There are only 2,500 bottles.

On the nose white fruit dominates, above all apple and pear. The palate delivers what the nose promises: balanced, fruity and delicate, with a dense finish in which lemon sets the tone. The champagne is a good companion for oysters, smoked salmon, scallop gratin, spring rolls and sushi. Serve it well chilled at 7 to 9 °C in a tulip glass or a slim white wine glass.
