1er Cru Blanc de Blancs

Pale gold colour, broken only by a ribbon of fine bubbles.

Elegance is the word, with aromas of vanilla and acacia flowers and notes of fig.

The story goes back all the way to 1625, and probably even further, when the Cattier family first started planting vines in Chigny-les-Roses, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. The winery has since been passed down through 12 generations. Today, Alexandre Cattier, became the thirteenth generation of Cattiers to work the vines and the fourth to produce their own champagne when he took the reins of the company, alongside his cousin Agathe, who became the Assistant Managing Director, and Marie, the new brand ambassador.

Opens with a creamy texture and beautiful acidity. Next come sweeter notes of fresh cakes, orchard fruit (pear and apple), citrus, and hints of sweet pastry and vanilla. It has a long finish, featuring notes reminiscent of a lemon tart.

This is the perfect aperitif champagne, but would also be perfect with a seafood platter, turbot in a cream sauce, or even sashimi. It pairs beautifully with a mature goat’s cheese or a firmer cow’s milk cheese such as Abondance. This even works well with a sweet course, where it will elevate a classic lemon tart.
