Tasting notes

Pale yellow colour with hints of green. The nose is complex, starting with fruit perfumes before evolving to floral notes. The attack is crisp and forthright, with the roundness of red berries, the vivacity of a citrus touch, before an elegant finish, making this a vigorous and generous Cremant de Bourgogne.

Vinification

The grapes were picked by hand before gentle pressing. The separate handling of the juice results in quality musts. After cold settling, alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature- controlled vats. Malolactic fermentation is deliberately stopped to preserve the rich, fruity style of Perle de Vigne. Afterwards the second fermentation takes place in the bottle using the traditional method.

Ageing

On the lees in bottle for more than 12 months to allows this flagship cuvee to reach the peak of its expression.

Food pairing

Perfect as an aperitif or paired with grilled fish, seasonal vegetables, or seafood.
