Description
Balance and maturity
This exceptional cuvée was created in 1964 as a
tribute to the House's founder. It results from the
blending of grands crus from the classified Côte des
Blancs vineyards (Chardonnay) and the Montagne
de Reims (Pinot Noir). Its vinification, partially in
traditional oak casks, underpins the generous
character of this fine, elegant and rich wine.

Tasting
Appearance: A lovely colour of sparkling yellow gold veiled in luminous golden reflections. This scintillating and crystal-like visual perception gives to the effervescence a rising of fine-cut bubbles.
Aroma: All the richness and subtlety of an aromatic contour which is both complex and refreshing at the same time. Fine honeyed notes associated with stone fruits (mirabelle plums, Royal Anne cherries) are underlined by flashes of aromas of citrus fruit zest.
Palate: The balance of a tension controlled by the blossoming of the wine (preserved peaches, fine apple tart and lemon verbana tea) and embodied by the line of noble flavours (fresh figs and exceptional teas). It maintains a consistency reflecting a distinct personality and retains a power controlled by a wellintegrated low dosage.
Tasting: This generous and mineral vintage, characterised by the elegant vinosity of a complex and mature wine, will bring a tasting which is symbolic of the champenois style and quality of ageing. It will expose the flavours of beautiful roasted poultry or a delicious turbot in a creamy sauce. Should be served at cellar temperature (11/12°C).
