Serving and food pairings
To reveal the full expression of this Champagne, serve between 8°C and 10°C in a gently rounded flute, allowing its aromatic richness, Pinot Noir vinosity and fine effervescence to unfold beautifully.
As an aperitif, it pairs elegantly with savoury pastries, roasted almonds or wafer-thin slices of black radish.
At the table, its generous structure and freshness make it an excellent companion to roast or grilled chicken, asparagus gratin with cured ham, delicate ham and pistachio pastries, or individual goat’s cheese and pear tarts.
For a more sophisticated pairing, the depth of this pure Pinot Noir is beautifully matched by a herb-crusted rack of lamb, its freshness providing an elegant counterpoint to the succulence of the meat. It is equally compelling with gently spiced slow-cooked lamb accompanied by seasonal vegetables.
Finally, the vinosity and complexity of the 2018 Millésime make it a superb partner for mature, characterful cheeses. A well-aged Comté, Beaufort or mature Cheddar creates a particularly harmonious pairing, bringing depth and richness to an altogether refined gastronomic experience.

Hervy-Quenardel
From a young age, I worked alongside my father in our vineyards, fostering a deep connection with nature.
Driven by my innate passion for nature, I pursued further education at the Lycée Agricole, where I delved into the multifaceted realm of viticulture.
It was there that I realized I had inherited the same fervor that ignited the souls of my ancestors: the ability to shepherd a Cuvée from vine to bottle, overseeing every step of its creation.
Few vocations afford such a comprehensive and fulfilling journey.
