Serving and food pairings
To be enjoyed at around 10°C, served in a tall and slender flute, ideal for preserving its liveliness, elegance, and freshness.
For food pairings, its refined, marine aromatic profile makes it the perfect match for match for crudités with burrata and anchovy cream, crisp radishes, oysters served naturally or with a splash of lemon, swordfish carpaccio with citrus zest, bruschetta with brandade of cod, and grilled fish or octopus with Mediterranean herbs. It also pairs beautifully with Parmigiano Reggiano shavings, chestnut honey, and walnuts, or a mature pecorino cheese accompanied by fig mustard.

Visual analysis 
The light colour of this Cuvée is marked by green highlights. The effervescence is extremely fine and rapid, feeding a light cordon of foam. The wine seems delicate and fresh.
Olfactory analysis 
The first nose is spring-like. After lemongrass, lily of the valley and lilac, we detect fresh almond and pound cake notes. The nose is first seductive and becomes later more singular with white pepper, thyme, grapefruit skin and damp chalk aromas. The expression is very subtle and gradually takes on a richer character with dairy products, spices and baguette bread notes.
Taste analysis 
The attack on the palate is fresh and lively. It introduces a slender yet fleshy palate, where the fine acidic structure dominates and sets the pace. The effervescence gradually melts into the body of the wine, creating a fine, silky texture. This refined structure, marked by aromas of grapefruit, is distinguished by a subtle salinity, creating a desire to taste more.
The final 
The finish is tight and saline, as well as warm. The wine fades after eight seconds with iodised and maritime fragrances.

Certified Organic Winemaker

Born in the cradle of a winegrowing family in Vertus, my childhood was naturally intertwined with the vines. From an early age, I was introduced to the rituals of the vineyard, seeing summer work as an essential gateway to my school vacations. 

However, it was at the age of 15 that my true passion for the art of wine was awakened. My first experiences of winemaking and tasting ignited in me a love for oenology and the subtle art of tasting.

What really captured my imagination was the aromatic richness of the wines, sculpted by their terroir of origin and the history of each vineyard. 

I discovered that the heart of a great Champagne de terroir beats thanks to the exceptional quality of its grapes.

My philosophy is rooted in a desire to produce grapes and wines that faithfully reflect their terroir. I am committed to cultivating my vines in harmony with the surrounding ecosystem, thus preserving the essence of the life that abounds there. 

For me, wine is more than a drink; it's a story about the land, a story of passion, commitment and a deep respect for the precious gifts of nature. 

This is the essence of my quest as a winemaker in Vertus: to create wines that, with every sip, reveal a story, a place, a passion.
