Visual analysis
The presentation of this Cuvée is rich and lively.
The colour of this 2016 vintage is reminiscent of ripe wheat, with beautiful green reflections, and offers us a twirling effervescence that feeds a thick string of foam on the surface.

Olfactory analysis
The first nose, intense and complex, is very seductive: we perceive notes of yellow fruit, baguette, mimosa and daffodil. After a few moments, the expression becomes more "typical" with white pepper, seaweed and an iodine sensation.
After ten minutes in the flute, the wine evolves towards praline, cream and pastry. A very evolving nose, which transports us from the intensity of spring, to the tastiness, while passing by the sea.

Taste analysis
The attack is immediately broad and creamy, then the palate is voluminous and tasty.
Full-bodied and fresh, it reveals a wonderfully tactile, soft and warm texture that could be compared to cashmere.

The final
The finish is very aromatic and long (12 seconds of persistence).
Rich and creamy, it expresses itself in continuity. After a few seconds, it reveals a delicately chalky sensation.

An exceptional Millésime!
Fresh and complex, it is also voluminous, meaty and full-bodied.
It reflects the particularity of its terroir of origin, Verzenay Grand Cru, on the north side of the Montagne de Reims, its year of birth, the 2016 harvest, and the characteristics of Chardonnay with good ageing potential.

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.
