Essentiel is a multi-vintage cuvée featuring a blend of three varieties. Its magnificent structure, balance and freshness ensure that this Extra Brut represents the iconic style of the house.
Perfect with appetizers and to accompany a meal. A magnificent complement to fish and white meats.
Blend: 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier, 20% Chardonnay
There’s abroad-shouldered, structured feel, yet this refreshing version is sleek and well meshed, integrating a firm spin of citrusy acidity with flavors of black currant and cherry fruit, lemon curd and brioche.Lightly spiced and creamy on the long finish. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay.
Blending the three principal Champagne varieties, this Champagne has a fine touch of cashew-nut maturity. The aroma brings out that nuttiness, while to taste the wine has rounded the corner and revealed maturity.
A bright medium yellow hue, the NV Champagne Essentiel Extra Brut is the base 2019 and consists of 36% Pinot Noir, 25% Meunier, and the rest Chardonnay, with 29% reserve wine. This should be the most accessible of these Champagnes, because it’s not overly cerebral and has a more oyster shell minerality, with notes of white peach and delicate, pretty red fruit. Medium-bodied, it has structure and will drink well over the next several years. It’s a food-friendly wine.
Very toasty style with pastry, red fruit and gunpowder. Light-bodied with a tight palate and refreshing acidity
