What to Expect

Champagne is specifically a sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France; every other sparkling is simply that, sparkling wine. Made to be aged for a few to many years, in many languages "Champagne" is synonymous with "party". When young, Champagne exhibits the fresh fruit tones of its "cepage", or blend. Usually based on a blend the features either Chardonnay or Pinot Noir as its main ingredient, Champagne's fruit can range from citrusy to orchard fruits and even red berries. The wine gains distinct yeasty notes from its secondary fermentation, the one that adds the fizz, which is typically described as recalling brioche or bread. As it ages Champagne tends to lose its obvious fruit, which is replaced by subtle nutty tones and subdued elements of dried fruits.

Winemakers Notes

Based in the heart of Epernay, Chef des Caves Jean-Pierre Jaeger'squality-driven philosophy has raised Gratien's game considerably. Thisexquisite Champagne, with Chardonnay elegance to the fore, has notes ofapricot, brioche and peach to underline the complexity on the palate. AtGratien they serve this alongside duck breast with nectarine - what a memorableexperience!

"Fresh fruit flavors and lively acidity make this appetizing. Dry in style, bracing in texture, with complex spicy nuances that linger on the finish...90." WS

Full of brioche and toast on the palate. Round and approachable with a mineral edge on the finish.

Pale golden color. Has a pleasant spice on the palate with green fruit flavors, mostly pears and citrus. Full bodied and delicious.
