Cuvée Belle Gabrielle

La Belle Gabrielle is the prestige cuvée of Charles Collin and recalls Renoir's muse. It comes exclusively from selected parcels and is made from the heart of the cuvée. The assemblage is 80 per cent Chardonnay and 20 per cent Pinot Noir. Four to five years of ageing in the house's cellars give it character.

The house works consistently towards quality in the vineyard and in the cellar, and this cuvée is the expression of that. It works as an aperitif just as well as with a meal. Serve it at 9 to 11 degrees in a large white wine glass, where the Chardonnay can open up. The bottle comes in free gift packaging, which makes it an obvious present.
