Serving and food pairings
Best served at 12°C, never below, preferably in a generous wine glass that allows its aromatic complexity and silky texture to reveal their full expression.
At the table, this Champagne comes into its own alongside dishes with refined textures and beautifully layered flavours, particularly those inspired by the autumn season. Excellent pairings include fillets of Dover sole with girolle mushrooms, a creamy porcini mushroom risotto, or veal fillet with aubergine purée and toasted hazelnuts.
For more richly flavoured dishes, consider delicately spiced slow-braised beef, Greek aubergine moussaka or a fragrant Moroccan vegetable tagine.
Washed-rind cheeses such as Langres or Soumaintrain also make particularly appealing companions, their distinctive character complementing the wine’s supple texture and the subtle herbal freshness of its finish.
