Gardet

Cuvée 120 ans | Bottle 75cl

Description

Maison Gardet couldn't have imagined a better way to celebrate its 120th anniversary than with this Cuvée 120 ans.

The fruit of 120 years of history, it brings together 12 of the greatest vintages.

Made from Pinot Noir (70%) and Chardonnay (30%), this exceptional cuvée, with its well-kept savoir-faire, is the perfect accompaniment to scallop carpaccio or Turbot Rossini with foie gras sauce and veal jus with truffles.

In this Champagne setting, the first harvests began on September 15, 1943, in a very mild, frost-free year. The following vintage, 1947, was an extraordinary year in which disease seemed to have disappeared from the vineyard. Then 10 other vintages (1959, 1988, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2011) were carefully selected until 2011, all for their singularities capable of sublimating this blend.

The color is a delicate pale yellow with subtle silver highlights.

The nose, fresh and pleasant, reveals intense aromas of white flowers.

On the palate, bright and lively, the wine opens with notes of citrus, followed by greedy candied fruit.
