Serve it between 9 and 10 °C as an aperitif to preserve its white and yellow fruit aromas, and between 10 and 12 °C with a meal to bring out its full-bodied structure and its woody and spicy notes.

This non-vintage wine is ready to drink now, with its peak expected in 10 years. The magnum bottle and partial barrel aging significantly extend its aging potential, which is estimated at 25 years.

It pairs well as an aperitif with Comté cheese gougères or langoustine fritters, with a main course of poultry with morel mushrooms or butter-roasted lobster, and with an almond brioche for dessert.

This cuvée is not a vintage champagne: it is a blend of 195 wines from 12 different years, ranging from 1998 to 2014, designed to offer consistency and aromatic depth rather than the expression of a single harvest, as found in a classic vintage champagne.
