Blend

80% de meunier

15% Pinot Noir

5% Chardonnay

This cuvée is led by Meunier, a grape that brings roundness and rich fruit, easy to enjoy from the very first sip.

Pinot Noir adds structure, lending shape and depth on the palate.

Finally, Chardonnay, used in smaller proportion, brings a refreshing touch of elegance, making for a lighter, well-balanced finish.

Tasting Notes

A subtle opening with flinty notes and dried fruits, evolving into aromas of plum, honey, and a hint of mirabelle.

Generous and inviting, with a sweet burst of strawberry and blackcurrant on the attack. It then opens onto a light, structured body with notes of chocolate and meringue. The finish is indulgent, with a touch of candied citrus.

How to enjoy it

Serve chilled, between 7–8°C—cool but not icy—to bring out its roundness and freshness.

Perfect for both a relaxed moment or a refined dining experience.
