Tasting Notes
It displays a luminous golden color, accompanied by an extremely fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it opens with a complex and generous bouquet, featuring aromas of fresh flowers, ripe citrus, and dried fruit, followed by notes of honey, toasted almonds, and marzipan. The palate is sumptuous, with a creamy texture and an extraordinary harmony between freshness and intensity. The flavors elegantly unfold, revealing notes of quince, brioche, and hazelnut, with a subtle minerality that evolves into a long and persistent finish, dominated by hints of honey and sweet spices.
Pairings
La Grande Cuvée 171ème Édition is an extremely versatile champagne, capable of enhancing a wide range of dishes. Perfect as an aperitif for special occasions, it pairs wonderfully with shellfish such as lobster, crawfish, and crab. It is ideal with tuna or salmon tartare and with refined dishes such as truffle risotto or buttered scallops. It also excels with delicate white meats, such as roast quail or lemon chicken. To conclude the meal, it pairs beautifully with lightly sweetened desserts made with dried fruit or citrus. A unique sensory experience for discerning palates.
