Cuvée Léonie Brut

The Cuvée Léonie recalls the winegrower Léonie Duchêne, whose marriage to the cooper Jérôme Canard in 1868 laid the foundation for the house. The blend is 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Meunier and 20% Chardonnay, and it ages for three years in the cellar. The result is a brut in pale gold, with structure and generosity.

On the nose, yellow and exotic fruit meets dried flowers and gingerbread. On the palate come candied pineapple, fine toasty notes and a hint of spice, carried by fresh balance and a long finish. It is as much at home as an aperitif as with foie gras, lightly smoked duck, sea bass or poultry with summer truffle. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a wide white wine glass that gives the layered bouquet room to open.
