The firm’s non-vintage brut The White Foil is a traditional blend of all three champagne grapes, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, in equal parts. A fine example of the house style, maintaining the highest standards of quality consistently, vintage after vintage.

Production: 

The grapes are sourced from 30 different Crus spread throughout the 80 hectares of vineyards in and around Epernay and along the northern Côte de Blancs. A blend of 25% reserve wines with 4 years minimum ageing in the cellars.

Tasting notes:

Light but structured, fresh yet ripe and fruity, and ready to drink. Golden straw coloured with fine bubbles and a pronounced nose of fresh aromas of hazelnuts, brioche, and apricot fruit, with hints of honeysuckle and floral notes.

The palate is fruity, with a lovely note of ripe nectarine fruit, lingering and sustained by elegant acidity. Reminiscent of a vintage style more than a non-vintage style.

Note: Ideal for enjoying throughout the meal, from the aperitif to the dessert. If stored with care, it can be enjoyed now and for years to come.
