More questions
Champagne Les Vertus from Domaine Augustin is born in the renowned Champagne region, an area with a unique terroir characterized by limestone soils that give the wine structure and freshness. This champagne is made primarily from Pinot Meunier grapes, one of the emblematic varieties of this area, known for lending the wine a fruity softness and a pleasant roundness.
The winemaking follows the traditional method, with a second fermentation in the bottle that provides the product with a fine and persistent effervescence. The prolonged aging on the lees enhances the complex aromas, characterized by delicate notes of white fruit, floral hints, and a breath of yeast that adds depth and harmony to the bouquet. On the palate, it is elegant and balanced, with vibrant freshness and a savoriness that invites another sip.
This champagne is a magnificent match for delicate seafood dishes, such as oysters or fish carpaccio, but it also proves to be an excellent companion for moments of conviviality and celebration, simply and elegantly enhancing every toast.
