Collection II case

The Collection II is the signature champagne of the house of Konrat. The non-vintage brut comes solely from Montigny-sous-Châtillon and combines 50% Pinot Meunier with 25% each of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The grape varieties are vinified individually according to the lunar calendar and then aged on the lees in oak casks, vats, demijohns and amphorae. This version is offered in a case, which makes it a good gift. Only 2,636 bottles were made in all.

Fine perlage, with a sweet scent of hazelnut and cedar wood. On the palate it is rich and shows white blossom, vanilla and plenty of apricot, carried by a discreet note of wood. With seafood, turbot with truffles, Comté, Coulommiers or Maroilles it is a harmonious partner. It is open already, and with up to eight years of cellaring it gains in complexity. Serve it at 10 to 12 degrees.
