Menu
Cuvée Joséphine is made up of 54% Chardonnay and 46% Pinot Noir coming from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in Avize, Vertus, Chouilly, Cumières, Mailly and Le Mesnil sur Oger.
It is aged in bottle for a minimum of 6 years. The riddling is done manually on pupitres. Each bottle passes through the hands of around ten cellar hands, all passionate about the creation of exceptional champagnes.
The colour is yellow gold tinged with glowing coppery elements. The nose combines the floral fragrance of an iris garden and notes of “spicy-sweet”balsam and an exotic aroma of sandalwood. As it opens up the senses areassaulted by aromas of dried fruits, fig and prune. Finally there are sensual spicy elements.
The palate is truly vinous with great vivacity. The Pinot Noir releases powerful fruit flavours enriched with almond notes, and a touch of vanilla. TheChardonnay is refreshing on the palate, with touches of pastry flavours. Thefinish is long, and complex and intense, with a soothing note of white truffles of Alba. The style of Joséphine can be characterised in two words : Intensity and Balance.
This champagne perfectly partners a fresh dish of carpaccio of Saint-Jacques. It enhances the tender flesh of a line caught bass. Vinosity and effervescencebalance the smoked meat of a rich game dish. Served with delicious candiedapricots and walnuts, its pastry notes add a wonderfully complex note.
Josephine is timeless and can be cellared with confidence, to each age itspleasures ! Keep in the cellar away from light and at a constant temperature. Serve at around 10 ° C.
