Other Champagne styles, great expressions and exceptional cuvées

Champagne cannot be reduced to a single expression. Depending on grape variety, dosage, ageing time, disgorgement and the know-how of the house, it can be crystalline, mineral, vinous, powerful, airy, generous or delicately sweet. This diversity makes it possible to choose a bottle suited to every moment, from a refined aperitif to dessert, as well as fine gastronomic dining.

Blanc de Blancs Champagne: made exclusively from Chardonnay, it charms with its extreme finesse, purity, citrus notes, minerality and elegant tension. It is an ideal style for aperitif, seafood and delicate pairings.

Blanc de Noirs Champagne: made only from Pinot Noir and/or Meunier, it offers greater structure, vinosity and depth. Rarer in style, it is perfect for lovers of powerful and gastronomic Champagnes.

Vintage Champagne: produced only in great years, it comes from a single harvest and must age for at least three years on lees. It expresses the personality of a vintage and often has strong ageing potential.

Recently disgorged Champagne: kept for a long time on lees before disgorgement, it reaches great aromatic maturity while preserving remarkable freshness. This style is particularly appealing to lovers of evolved and complex cuvées.

Extra Brut Champagne: very lightly dosed, with less than 6 g/L of sugar, it highlights the purity of the wine, the precision of the terroir and the quality of the winemaking. It is sought after by lovers of dry, precise and expressive Champagnes.

Demi-Sec Champagne: sweeter than classic Brut Champagne, it pairs beautifully with desserts, fine pastries and more generous tasting moments.

For freshness: choose a Blanc de Blancs, often more crystalline, mineral and precise.

For gastronomy: choose a Blanc de Noirs, more vinous, structured and suited to dishes with character.

For ageing: both styles can evolve with elegance, depending on the house, vintage and quality of ageing.

For discovery: comparing these two styles is one of the best ways to understand the influence of grape variety on Champagne personality.

For aperitif: choose a Blanc de Blancs, an Extra Brut or a fresh and precise Champagne.

For a gastronomic meal: choose a Blanc de Noirs, a vintage Champagne or a recently disgorged cuvée.

For desserts: opt for a Demi-Sec Champagne, rounder and more generous.

For lovers of purity: look for Extra Brut or lightly dosed Champagnes that place terroir at the forefront.

Blanc de Blancs: oysters, seafood, sashimi, raw fish, ceviche, fresh cheeses and elegant aperitifs.

Blanc de Noirs: poultry, veal, mushrooms, truffle, fish in sauce, creamy cuisine and more structured dishes.

Extra Brut: caviar, shellfish, Japanese cuisine, saline products and dishes of great purity.

Recently disgorged: aged cheeses, poultry, mushroom dishes, mature Comté and gastronomic cuisine.

Demi-Sec: fruit tarts, citrus desserts, fine pastries, sabayon or lightly sweet pairings.

For discovery: choose a Blanc de Blancs or Extra Brut to understand the precision and freshness of great Champagnes.

For a meal: choose a Blanc de Noirs, a vintage Champagne or a recently disgorged cuvée.

For the end of a meal: select a Demi-Sec Champagne to pair with desserts and lightly sweet pastries.

For gifting: look for a recognised house, a rare cuvée or a distinctive style with real personality.
