Tasting Note

The cuvée « La Grande Hermine » is a vintage champagne aged « sur lattes » for a minimum of 8 years. It quintessentially captures the Fresne-Ducret style in its combination of freshness and aromatic complexity. Crystalline with a pale golden color. Good effervescence and a stable “cordon” after serving. The nose is fresh, dominated by floral notes with hints of citrus. In the mouth, a savory dimension with a balanced astringency, with aromas of orange zest and honey. The wine is lively and dynamic, a vintage still in its youth. Serve with goat cheese, small game, or rhubarb millefeuille.
