Brut Tradition 1er Cru

The Brut Tradition 1er Cru follows the classic Champagne interplay: 70% Chardonnay meets 30% Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay gives the wine lightness and finesse, while the Pinot Noir gives it backbone and a touch of vinosity. The result is a balanced, racy cuvée that is soft yet crisp on the palate and remains expressive.

It is precisely this mix of delicacy and body that makes it a good food companion. It goes with poultry, such as a roast chicken or a terrine, and equally with cheese, from mild soft cheeses to aged Comté. Serve it at 9 to 11 degrees in a white wine glass that leaves a little more room than a slim flute, so the vinous side can show.
