Premier Délice Cuvée is a little more demanding than it cousin, the M² Cuvée. It goes up a notch, by its selection process and maturation. Ideal companion for sushi, caviar, Japanese style dish and seafood in general. Always jovial, it is a little more assertive and has a righteous taste that is exceptional thanks to the natural roundness of Meuniers varietal. If minerality is what you want, there it is.
It's Aura: Gourmet - Vivid - Seductive

ASSEMBLAGE (BLEND):
100% Pinot Meunier of one harvest, selected from specific lieux-dits and areas across the Vallée de la Marne around Venteuil. Partial oak maturation, it undergoes full malolactic fermentation. 24 months minimum on slats.

SOIL:
Only mid hills selection, south exposure to allow for a maximum maturity. The clay rich soil is less dense in those area and chalk can be found as soon as 60 cm deep, allowing for a well-drained ground.

COLOR:
Light yellow copper with golden highlights. The wine develops a fine, elegant and long-lasting mousse as you pour it in the glass.

NOSE:
The wine reveals immediately a refreshing iodized scent. You can almost feel and taste the soil characteristics on the first smell. Limestone and chalk are dominant, its very mineral. Then as the wine opens and temperature rise, yellow stone and white fruits as well as hints of red berries are coming into play. Light citrus note is already perceptible.

MOUTH:
The delicate effervescence is lively but smooth. This is a controlled zesty wine thanks to its natural acidity and this is especially remarkable and enhanced by the iodized texture of it. The frank vinosity of the wine gives an impression of strength and freshness, yet it is never harsh. The fruits, the yellow stones and apple soon join in a perfect harmony to balance the wine, making it almost suave. As you go, quince, white peach and citrus all mix up to finish with a refreshing slight after taste of mint leaves with a hint of macadamia nut.

DOSAGE:
Extra Brut (< 6 gr/L).

ALCOHOL:
Alc. 12% By Vol. Contains sulphites

SPECIAL:
We are a member of the VEGAN Society.

SERVICE:
Best when served around 12°C. If colder, dont hesitate to let it rise in temperature. Pour and enjoy by itself or with appetizers. We recommend drinking it in large glasses to fully enjoy its qualities.
About The Vineyard
Cour Des Lys is born out of a passion of one man for champagne. Tired of tasting the same champagne around the globe, he decided to create his own with two principals in mind.
The first one would be excellence only, a proud sense of place and different. Otherwise there is no point to produce a champagne.
The Second one, respecting the environment and the living by producing a Vegan Wine starting with the vines to the finished bottle. Located on the edges of the Montagne de Reims, Cotes des Blancs and the Marne's valley, Cour Des Lys enjoys and benefits of the best soil to create a pure and mineral champagne, particularly out of the Meunier varietal.
