Excellent value from a grower Champagne

The perfect expression when the traditional alliance of the three Champagne grape varieties meets a Premier Cru terroir and the precision of a winegrower. A harmonious whole for aperitifs with guaranteed success.

Food Pairing: “Its a match made in heaven with grilled fish, seafood dishes such as ceviche or mild creamy cheeses” Cathal McBride

Cellaring: Ideal now but can be kept for an another 5 years.

"A gorgeous grower Champagne offering excellent value either solo for a vibrant apéritif, or for gastro pairings for its pretty red fruit, cocoa butter and brioche notes. Smoked salmon mousse perhaps, or beef carpaccio with Parmesan"  Aoife Carrigy, Irish Independent, 11th December 2021

"This elegant premier cru Champagne is streets ahead of several big names costing almost twice the price. Lovely bottle age and complexity, and a bargain even at its full price of €39" Tom Doorley, Irish Daily Mail, 17th July 2021
