Description
Cuvée Argonne is a unique champagne, a symbiosis between the incredible terroir of Aÿ and the oak trees of the Argonne forest. The grapes come from two parcels, “Les Valnons” for the pinot noirs, and “Croix Courcelles” for the chardonnay, both located in the heart of the Aÿ terroir. This blend is vinified in new oak barrels from the Argonne forest and offers a champagne with astonishing aromatic power and unique complexity.

Tasting | The first nose is very delicate, evoking vine peach. Then, as the minutes go by, the wine warms up and opens up with pastry notes of dried fruits and sweet spices. The chalky minerality of the Aÿ terroir is never far away, underlining the airy and delicate side. Finally, notes of orange blossom and cocoa come through on this superb nose. On the palate, the wine opens with a beautiful tension, then gives way to a creamy, delicate texture that carries notes of ripe fruit. The minerality is palpable, giving a unique character to this champagne. To be enjoyed on the most beautiful occasions or with sea urchins or a nice poultry with morels. |
