Cuvée Orium

The Cuvée Orium combines Chardonnay, Meunier and Pinot Noir in equal parts. 37% of the wine comes from reserve wines, which gives the champagne depth and consistency. It aged for 36 months in the cellar. The dosage is low at 3 g/l, and the style is correspondingly clear and direct.

The bubbles are delicate, the nose floral with acacia and a touch of yellow fruit. On the palate it is full-bodied and silky, and the finish is energetic and mineral. This balance suits fine rather than heavy dishes: small grey shrimp, sushi, a mature Comté or an apricot tart. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass. There the acacia and the mineral side show better than in a narrow flute.
