"This great classic clearly shows the style of Alfred Gratien. It’s a refined blend dominated by fruity Pinot Meunier combined with the elegance of Chardonnay. Fine mousse with extremely long-lasting mousse. Citrus fruit, mango, peach and apricot aromas balance wonderfully with the freshness of exotic fruits on the palate." -Importer

"This great classic clearly shows the style of Alfred Gratien. It's a refined blend dominated by fruity Pinot Meunier combined with the elegance of Chardonnay. Light-gold, very beautiful color. Fine, extremely long-lasting mousse. On the nose, this wine has citrus fruits, mangos, peaches and apricots. A wonderful balance of aromatic strength and the freshness of exotic fruits. A refined blend in which the elegance of the Chardonnay melds with the fruitiness of the Pinot Meunier and the enduring flavour of the Pinot Noir. That is the art of champagne production." -Winery
