The 2019 Vintage
2019 is widely regarded as one of Champagne's finest recent vintages — a warm, dry growing season that produced grapes of exceptional ripeness and concentration, balanced by the region's natural chalk-driven acidity. The result is a vintage of remarkable depth and longevity, with the structure to age gracefully for a decade or more.
Tasting Profile
Bright yellow-straw with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is intense and precise — fresh pear, Meyer lemon, lemongrass, crushed stones, and a signature flinty, mineral reduction that speaks directly to the chalk terroir of Le Mesnil. On the palate it's focused and elegant with vibrant acidity, creamy mousse, and a long, mineral-driven finish of extraordinary precision. A Champagne that rewards both immediate enjoyment and extended cellaring.
Perfect Pairings
Serve at 46–50°F with oysters, sea urchin, Dover sole, lobster, seared scallops, or aged Comté. Equally compelling as a standalone prestige aperitif. A Champagne for moments that deserve the very best.
