LA PERLE DES TREILLES

Brut Champagne

​

A Champagne of character with noble expression. To taste between enthusiasts.

​

This cuvée owes its name to the place called “Les Treilles”. In the past, vines were cultivated in the gardens, along a wall, on an arbor or a trellis (treillage).

The Pearl is a nod to the Chardonnay grape from which it is made.

TASTING :

​

To the eye: Bright, yellow gold color with very fine bubbles. The sensational appearance announces a rich and fresh champagne which invites tasting.

​

On the nose: Concentration and finesse. Cream, brioche and white pepper express themselves first. More mineral and iodine notes are then paired with fruity aromas of pear and muscat grapes.

​

On the palate: The attack is fresh with the sensation of biting into fresh, ripe grapes but supple thanks to its creamy effervescence. The finish is explosive with an exhilarating acidity and aromas of lemon, green apple and pear. As it warms up, it evolves into woody, vanilla and toffee notes, both rich and complex.

​

GOURMET PAIRING :

Pike-perch fillet with pink peppercorns, Veal sweetbreads with morels, Pear gratin with goat’s cheese and rosemary.
