Tribaut Schloesser, a respected name in the Champagne world, has meticulously crafted this Millesime Brut to showcase the unique characteristics of the 8 terroirs that contribute to its distinctive personality.
This Champagne is primarily composed of a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, the holy trinity of Champagne grapes.

Expect a crisp, dry entry that gives way to a delightful explosion of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, complemented by the refreshing taste of green apple and pear. As the wine lingers, delicate toasty notes emerge, a testament to the extended aging on its lees, along with a distinctive minerality that reflects the chalky soils of Champagne. The result is a well-balanced, elegant, and complex Champagne that will tantalize your taste buds from the first sip to the lingering finish.
