Champagne Extra Brut Vintage Gardet

Champagne Extra Brut Millèsime Gardet
The Champagne Extra Brut Millèsime Gardet is a refined and characterful cuvée, designed for those seeking a vintage Champagne that combines freshness, complexity, and tasting precision. Signed by Gardet Champagne, it expresses with balance the meeting of the power of Pinot Noir and the elegance of Chardonnay, in a tense, modern, and gastronomic style.
Territory and wine style
This Champagne is born in the Champagne designation and comes from some of the most suitable areas for Pinot Noir, including the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne. The varietal composition, with 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, creates a balanced profile between structure, verticality, and finesse. The low dosage, equal to 4 g/lt, places it in an essential and clear Extra Brut style, capable of enhancing the purity of the fruit and the mineral dimension of the sip. The long aging of 60 months on the lees contributes to defining complexity and aromatic depth, without sacrificing freshness.
Tasting notes
In appearance, it presents a straw yellow enriched with golden reflections and fine, regular bubbles, a sign of an elegant and persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers a wide and harmonious aromatic range, with hints of citrus, peach, apricot, iodine, honey, and brioche. On the palate, the entry is fresh, dynamic, and mineral, with a beautiful tension that accompanies the fruity component and a well-defined taste structure. The finish is clean, savory, and persistent, supported by the precision of the Extra Brut style and a convincing balance between intensity and finesse.
Recommended pairings
The Champagne Extra Brut Millèsime Gardet pairs naturally with finger food, canapés, and elegant appetizers, but it also shines with shellfish, white meats, and semi-hard cheeses or those with a delicate profile. Its freshness makes it suitable for dishes based on raw fish, seafood crudos, and light preparations where a wine capable of cleansing the palate without overpowering the raw ingredients is needed.
Serving temperature
Serve the Champagne Extra Brut Millèsime Gardet at a temperature between 8 and 10°C, in order to preserve its aromatic finesse and tasting tension. If possible, allow the wine to rest for a few minutes in the glass after serving to fully appreciate the evolution of the aromas and the complexity given by aging on the lees.
