Product description
This independent Champagne House was founded in 1874 and has remained in the family for 5 generations. All their vineyards are Premier Cru located in the typical chalk soil of the Montagne de Reims. Only the first and best juice is used for all their cuvées.
Les Pêcherines is named after the oldest vines in a plot that used to be planted with peach trees. This plot benefiting from perfect exposure to the sun and the typical Champagne chalk soil, produces wines of exceptional finesse. Complex aromas of grapefruit, vine peach and mango with nutty and toasty notes and a hint of brioche. Creamy texture beautifully balanced with a refreshing acidity and an incredible length.

80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir from a vineyard in Chigny-lès-Roses on the Montagne de Reims that was planted in 1969. Very dense with real impact on both nose and palate. Not bone dry but chock-full of character and with a very neat mousse. Whistle-clean on the finish. Interesting and not overpriced.
