Visual analysis
The colour of this Cuvée Carpe Diem Extra Brut is intense and golden to perfection. It sparkles calmly under the effect of an extremely fine and slow effervescence. The foam halo is perfect and the whole is very appetizing.
Olfactory analysis
The first nose confirms this impression. The cooked fruit, the honey, the pralines, the caramel and the melted butter give an appetizing and accomplished character to the wine. After a few moments the expression becomes more elegant, balsamic and mineral. Later still we perceive the white pepper.
Complex and mature, this nose is among those with the most character in the Champagne panorama.
The excellent air tightness after thirty minutes, quince and spices, testify to its excellence and its potential.

Taste analysis
The initial impression on the palate is lively, taut, with good minerality and abundant effervescence. The wine balance manifests itself immediately with a nice slightly acidity and a full and enveloping vinosity.
The dosage absence perfectly shows the internal structure of the wine. This is expressed without frills and offers us a fluid and noble texture.
A magnificent palate, fresh and vinous, without concessions and fully aromatic.

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.
