Serving and food pairings
Maintain the service temperature between 8 and 10 ° C and present this Cuvée in a wine glass.We can easily find alliances with poultry and fairly firm fish and accompanied by sauce (butter, cream). Risotto is undoubtedly another track to follow, but also flambé crustaceans, flavored with Tonka bean for example, as well as Norman cheeses (Pont L’évêque, Livarot).

Visual analysis
L’Authentique 2008 features a fairly deep pale yellow colour. It is discreetly animated by fine and regular bubbles.The visual presentation announces structure and energy.
Olfactory analysis
The first nose immediately takes us on a journey. We perceive vanilla, very ripe pineapple, some exotic fruits too.Then the northern origins, north side of the Montagne de Reims, express aromas like spring honey, pear, butter. Later it’s the turn of white pepper and citrus zest to recall our olfactory memory.
It is a complex nose, the expression of a wine that seems to have a lot to tell.
