GARDET 130 ANNIVERSARY Anniversary Cuvée, Millésime 2015

One bottle, five generations. One cuvée, one hundred and thirty years of patience. The 130 Anniversary celebrates the 130 years of the Gardet House, founded in 1895 at Chigny-les-Roses, in a Millésime 2015 matured more than eight years on the lees.

Composition

Grapes & Origin

Pinot Noir · 70%
→ The frame of the cuvée. An explosion of fruit and generosity, keeper of the Gardet style continuity, directness and depth.

Chardonnay · 30%
→ The mineral skeleton. Brings the magnificent acidity and the tension an anniversary cuvée matured more than eight years on the lees demands.

A symbolic blend for the 130 years of the Gardet House (1895-2025), conceived to tell the unique story of Champagne Gardet.

Fermentations & Ageing

Then the bottle, and patience. More than eight years on the lees, in the cool of the chalk, in the silence of the cellars, in that patience our House has lived since 1895.
+ And at least three months after disgorgement: we let the dosage liqueur breathe before it leaves.

Dosage

Extra Brut dosage: 4 g/L.

Timeline of the bottle

Production timeline

One hundred and thirty years. Charles Gardet opens a small House at Chigny-les-Roses in 1895. His son inherits it. Then the grandson. Then the great-grandson. Today, the fifth generation bottles this cuvée. Each one added something, a cuvée, a plot, a gesture, and the 130 Anniversary is the sum of all those gestures. It is not my cuvée. It is the cuvée of the five generations who brought us here, and of the unique story they wrote.

Main harvest

The Millésime 2015 was not chosen by chance. We waited, tasted, watched. We knew it would hold the eight years, that it would carry the lees, that it would tell the story we wanted to tell. The Pinot Noir (70%) that explodes with fruit and generosity, the Chardonnay (30%) that carries the minerality and the magnificent acidity.

Reserve wines

Strictly limited edition: 4,000 bottles (75 cl) and 800 magnums (1.5 L), a total of 4,800. Released July 2025. Each bottle is presented in the anniversary gift box with a gold floral decor on black background, the signature design of the 130 years.

Tasting

Tasting

A cuvée for the table and for celebration. The complexity built over more than eight years on the lees calls for the tasting glass; the Pinot Noir profile, dominant in the blend, holds its own at the table. Freshness, creaminess, and the minerality that the Extra Brut dosage at 4 g/L lets rise to the surface.

Optimal serving temperature

8 to 10 °C (46 to 50 °F)

Colour

Golden yellow, with fine, elegant bubbles

Nose

It opens without hurry. The fruit first, juicy pear, quince, white peach, in all its generosity. Then the white flowers, jasmine and acacia, like a walk in the vines at the close of spring. Last, the patina of the long years on the lees: the sugared almond, the roasted hazelnut. A nose that gives up its aromas minute after minute in the glass.

Taste

The palate is fresh and creamy. The taste is full and delicious. Notes of lemon, brioche and then mineral follow to finish with elegant, lingering citrus zest aromas (lemon).

Fine cuisine pairings

To complete your experience, harmonious flavours to match this champagne: amuse-bouches, cocktail canapés, a cheese platter, or low-temperature cooked poultry with ravioles.
