Saint Thierry

Saint Thierry is a brut from Chartogne-Taillet and follows a clear line: 90 per cent Chardonnay, 10 per cent Pinot Meunier. The high proportion of Chardonnay shapes the style, bringing minerality and tautness to the glass. The small amount of Pinot Meunier adds fruit and roundness without watering down the freshness. It is a champagne for those who value precision and polish over fullness.

It is best drunk at 8 to 10 degrees from a tulip glass, which shows off the fine mousse and leaves enough room for the bouquet. Its natural partners are seafood: oysters, scallops, prawns or steamed fish with lemon butter. It also convinces as an aperitif when you want things salty and fresh.
