It is best served with fresh and maritime dishes: tartare or carpaccio of fish with firm flesh (mullet, monkfish, gilthead bream, etc.) and a citrus fragrance, or oysters from the open sea and well iodized.
Also, to be tried as an aperitif, for example, with an excellent black radish.
Very bright, it has a sparkling effervescence that generates a fine chain of foam on the surface.
The presentation is youthful and appetising.
We can perceive scents of citrus fruits, herbs and fresh mint, against a background of butter, almond and ladyfingers.
After aeration, the expression is more maritime and iodized.
On warming, the wine takes on more tertiary notes (honey, thyme, rape, oregano, mimosa, bread).
The nose is complex and lively, endowed with extraordinary energy.
The acidity immediately sets the pace and will accompany us to the finish, making us appreciate its 'bite' in the middle of the palate. At this stage, a slight hint of dosage quickly gives way to a strong saline sensation.
A general impression of verticality and vigour emanates from the whole, with a particular grain suggesting the texture of linen.
The wine then takes on a slightly full-bodied character and continues straight through to the finish.
Very firm, it reveals a nice saltiness enhanced by a menthol note.

This toned, firm, taut and vigorous Cuvée is an elegant and refined expression of Chardonnay.
The freshness and minerality of the vine are completely sublimated!
It is the ideal Champagne for Champagne lovers in search of new sensations.
As a fifth-generation winegrower, my childhood memories are filled with vineyards, where I roamed alongside my grandparents. After a brief interlude away from this heritage, returning to it felt natural.
The most profound moment for me was witnessing the tears of pride in my grandfather's eyes as I declared my commitment to continue our RM winemaking tradition, which originated with his own grandfather.
Now, embracing my father's legacy gives me profound joy, coupled with the freedom to cultivate and craft Champagnes according to my own vision and values.
