Ouvrage

The Cuvée Ouvrage is a Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut from a Grand Cru site and a single-plot cuvée. It comes from one 1.60-hectare plot called Loridon, planted entirely with Chardonnay. The wine rests in the cellar for more than three years. Only around 4,000 bottles are produced each year.

The nose is very pure. On the palate it is gentle, with a mineral, fresh character and a long finish. It is a precise, straightforward champagne that brings out the best in delicate food. It pairs especially well with salty, iodine-rich dishes, such as a scallop carpaccio or poached cod with citrus fruits. Serve it at 9 to 11 °C in a white wine glass that shows off its clarity and minerality.
