Limited Edition
Belle Epoque with 2 flutes by Marcin Rusak
2016
“This is a majestic cuvée which maintains its style and philosophy as it ages.”
THE EYE
A lovely golden tint evoking a sunset.
THE NOSE
Primary aromas marked by a lovely floral freshness which evolves towards white fruit like poached pear, as well as citrus, with zest of lemon and orange.
THE PALATE
The opening is precise and full of freshness thanks to notes of lemon zest and to minerality.
When I visited Epernay, I discovered the slow, patient process of creating champagne, which requires painstaking care and precise techniques, much like my practice

Pinot Noir grapes from Mailly-Champagne in particular have an elegance and finesse that harmonise perfectly with our signature Chardonnay from Grand Cru terroirs in the Côte des Blancs. They therefore enhance, rather than overwhelm, the delicate floral structure of the wine.
