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.

Taste analysis
The initial impression on the palate is both complex and sharp. We simultaneously perceive the acidity, the effervescence and the tannins of the Cuvée. It opens on a robust, tense, very structured mouth. The consistency of the wine generates a feeling of concentration, with a tight, dense texture. This structure, enhanced by the aging in oak barrels tends to dominate the effervescence and dosage, offers a Burgundian character to the whole.
The final
The finish is complex and savory, mineral and effervescent ... Magnificently baroque and inviting to the table!

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.
