Timeline of the bottle

Production timeline
Timeline of the bottle. Brut Tradition is a non-vintage; the House's know-how consists in offering a constant style and quality by reaching the perfect balance between the year's wines and a collection of reserve wines kept for this purpose.
Main harvest
Main harvest, about 70% of the blend: the most recent crop, generally around four years old at release. It brings the tension, the primary fruit, the acid freshness that sets a non-vintage Brut apart from a single vintage.
Reserve wines
About 30% comes from our reserve wines, kept with care in our stainless steel tanks, some from the three years before the base harvest, others older. They carry the House's memory: a patina no single vintage can give on its own.

Tasting

Tasting
The signature cuvée, the one that states the Gardet identity without naming it. The year's wines for momentum, reserve wines for memory: the balance the House has pursued since 1895.
Optimal serving temperature
6 to 8 °C (43 to 46 °F)
Colour
Honey gold yellow
Nose
It opens unhurried. Chalk first, almost tactile, like the walls of our cellars. Then the fruit, white peach and pear. And to close, the toasted brioche of long months on the lees.
Taste
On the palate, freshness leads. Then come the white stone fruits, the velvet of Meunier, the directness of Pinot Noir. The finish returns to the chalk of our cellars, and lingers.

Fine cuisine pairings

Three ways to serve it. At the aperitif, with a few gougères and prawns seared on the plancha. At Sunday brunch, with scrambled eggs. Or on its own, late in the afternoon, for the pleasure of it.
