About This Wine:

A great balance is achieved between the fruity contributions of the Pinot Noir and the acidic backbone of the Chardonnay resulting in a long clean finish. This wine shows great complexity with layers of fruit, floral notes, fresh dough, mineral characters, and an enduring creamy finish. Serve with sushi, pâté or grilled salmon.

Tasting Notes:

This cuvee is made following the traditional Champagne methods. All hand-picked grapes originate from Chateau Frank’s vineyards and are pressed whole cluster in membrane press while making a severe selection of the press fraction in the traditional Champagne style. The base wines are fermented at low temperatures, before the blending takes place the following spring. After estate tirage the bottles were aged “sur lies” in underground cellar, for more than three years, before being riddled by hand or gyropalette.
