“The nose reveals aromas of ripe red berries, brioche, and toasted hazelnuts. On the palate, the wine is fresh and mineral-driven, with notes of freshly baked bread and salted almonds.” — Ronalds Pētersons, Sommelier at Noble Wine

The nose reveals aromas of fresh brioche, honey, and toasted almonds, complemented by delicate buttery nuances. On the palate, the Champagne offers ripe fruit flavours with notes of pink grapefruit, lemon, and minerality, leading to a complex, lingering finish.

This Champagne pairs beautifully with elegant seafood dishes, such as baked mussels, as well as rich, creamy preparations like foie gras or pumpkin soup. Its freshness and minerality also complement mushroom dishes and goat cheese, balancing their richness and enhancing their delicate flavours.

Fresh chardonnay shows bright fruity profile and strong body. Chardonnay wines usually have expressed aromatic complexity and usually it happens due to winemaking techniques (particularly the use of oak promote notes of vanilla, smoke and hints of spices) rather than the variety's intrinsic qualities. Also, this variety can develop cream, yeast and brioche bread notes. Because of this high level of winemaker influence, Chardonnay has become famous as the "winemaker's wine".
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.
