Timeline of the bottle

Production timeline
A non-vintage is not a compromise: it is a stylistic choice. The 70/30 ratio between the year's wines and reserve wines is the House's constant formula. The reserve wines, kept in stainless steel, are reassessed each year; at blending, we keep the lots that carry the Gardet continuity forward.
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
Reserve wines, about 30% of the blend: mainly from the three years preceding the base harvest, some lots older. They carry the House identity: the mineral line, the brioche notes of long ageing, the roundness on the palate.

Tasting

Tasting
A reference point for anyone placing the Brut style of Champagne. The balance between the year's wines and reserve wines sets the benchmark: Pinot Noir tension, Meunier roundness, the Chardonnay's mineral line.
Optimal serving temperature
6 to 8 °C (43 to 46 °F)
Colour
Honey gold, the characteristic hue of a Brut aged three years on the lees
Nose
With character, open. Hints of chalk, fruit, and toasted notes.
Taste
Expressive attack, dominant freshness carried by Pinot Noir acidity. Mid-palate, white stone fruit, Meunier velvet, Pinot Noir directness. Mineral, chalky finish; the 8 g/L dosage holds the sugar-acid balance; long persistence.

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.
