About
On the nose, this Champagne reveals delicate aromas of white peach, grapefruit, sweet almonds, and vanilla, evolving with aeration into subtle notes of toasted brioche, chocolate, and a hint of mint. On the palate it delivers a refined balance between the power and structure of Pinot Noir and the finesse and elegance of Chardonnay — expect a creamy, gently effervescent mousse, with chalky minerality, citrus freshness and a touch of spicy, toasty nuance. The finish is long and complex, with lingering impressions of almond, citrus peel and soft brioche.
Tasting notes

Aromātā atklājas vieglas balto persiku, greipfrūtu, saldo mandeļu un vaniļas nianses, bet ar laiku tās papildina maigas maizes garozas, šokolādes un nedaudz piparmētras akcenti. Garšā šis šampanietis piedāvā līdzsvaru starp Pinot Noir spēku un struktūru un Chardonnay smalkumu un eleganci — gaidāma krēmīga, viegli dzirkstoša tekstūra, minerālitāte, citrusīgā svaiguma pieskāriens un nedaudz pikants aromāts. Pēcgarša ir gara un kompleksa, ar ilgu mandeļu, citrusmiziņas un maigu brioche atblāzmu.

Pairing

This Champagne pairs beautifully with dishes such as pan-seared scallops or lightly grilled seafood, where its fresh acidity and minerality complement the brininess of shellfish. It also matches well with poultry — for instance, a roast guinea fowl or chicken with chestnuts — and richer appetizers like aged cheeses or foie-gras can highlight its subtle depth and elegance.

The Champagne region combines specific climate, soil, and topography conditions that form a unique terroir currently used by approx. 15 000 vine-growers and 300 wine houses. The region has 4 sub-regions - Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Bar. Each provides customers with a different style of sparkling wine. The dominant grapes are Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier which are mainly used in Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne, while Chardonnay shows excellent results in Côte des Blancs. The region is even more appealing because of the so-called "Growe's Champagne" wines, the production of which is overseen by one family from start to finish - they grow and press grapes, make wine, and bottle it in the territory of one wine house. This gives the wine a true charm, aura, and unique flavor.
