A bright, inviting bubbly from a family house rooted in the chalky soils of the Marne, where Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay are tended with real care. The pale salmon colour comes from a touch of still red wine blended in, giving you juicy notes of wild strawberry, raspberry and a little citrus zest. Patient ageing on the lees adds a soft, creamy texture that balances the lively freshness beautifully. Lovely as an aperitif, it also works a treat with charcuterie, grilled salmon or a bowl of summer berries. Easy-going, elegant and made to be shared with friends.
