Champagne L'Éloquente Brut – Jean de la Fontaine

Champagne from Jean de la Fontaine

This is a non-vintage brut – a champagne without a vintage, blended from several harvest years to achieve the house's consistent, recognizable style every year. It is dominated by Pinot Meunier, making it rounder and fruitier than the house's vintage champagne, La Majestueuse 2017, which is Chardonnay-based and partly barrel-aged.

L'Éloquente Brut is a harmonious cuvée created from a carefully balanced blend of 30% Chardonnay, 65% Pinot Meunier, and 5% Pinot Noir, which together deliver an exceptional taste experience.

Color, aroma, and taste:
The name "L'Éloquente" reflects the wine's ability to charm with its allure. It has a beautiful, light golden color with delicate, persistent bubbles. The aroma offers fresh notes of ripe fruit, flowers, and a hint of citrus, while the taste is round, fruity, and elegant with a perfect balance between the freshness of Chardonnay and the fullness of Pinot Meunier. The result is a Champagne that is both fresh and generous, making it ideal for festive and gastronomic moments alike.

Serving suggestions:
This Champagne is ideal as an aperitif, where its lively bubbles awaken the taste buds. It is also an excellent choice for seafood, such as oysters or langoustine, and works beautifully with cheese, especially aged Comté or fresh goat cheese. Finish the meal with a lemon tart, where the Champagne's freshness elevates the dessert's acidity to new heights.
