Serving and food pairings

At the table, it goes well with grilled chicken, pâté en croûte champenois, asparagus gratin with cured ham, ham-pistachio puff pastry, goat's cheese and apple tarts, and all hard cheeses.

Visual analysis
The color of this 2018 vintage is beautifully golden. The fine, calm bubbles, set against a background of deep, luminous yellow, create a very sensual shimmer.
The visual presentation is rich.
Olfactory analysis
The first nose is intense and appetizing with honey, apricot, acacia, mimosa and almond notes.
Autolysis notes follow, with cookie and praline.
Later, it's the grape variety's turn to express itself, with strawberry, cherry and toasted almond notes.
A complex, autumnal nose.
Taste analysis
The attack on the palate is wide and invigorating. The wine's vinosity and effervescence are simultaneously perceptible.
The wine then opens out onto a fluid, full-bodied palate, with cookie and honey aromas. The sensation of volume and the warm, loose character suggest the texture of wool.
This beautiful substance is accompanied by the effervescence, petulant and playful, from the attack to the finish.
The final
The finish is long (8 seconds of persistence) with a perfect extension of the mouth. Effervescent, fresh, slightly saline, it finishes on a note of nougat.
Millésime 2018
Grand Cru
Hervy-Quenardel
This is a "celebratory" Champagne, to be served when spirits need to be lifted. Its tonicity, vigor and energy give a beautiful vitality. Its texture and finish are the hallmarks of the 2018 vintage.
Discover the Vigneron
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.
