Our range
In Champagne a vintage is always a matter of patience. This one does not deviate from the rule: Made solely from grapes from the 2012 vintage, it took nine years of aging in our cellars to reach the aromatic peak of this exceptional wine.
Its pale gold colour with very light golden reflections does not betray its age, just like its nose of great liquorice freshness. The complexity of the 2012 vintage is expressed in the nose with yummy notes of marshmallow, peach and apricot, supported by fresh floral notes of honeysuckle and elderflower. On the palate, the attack is clear, tense and the aromatic palette grows as the tasting progresses with a silky mid-palate with notes of hazelnut and dry apricot and a zesty finish, of a remarkable length.
Amazing by its freshness, original by its aromas, the 2012 vintage is like falling with Alice into her Wonderland.

Unique blend of 5 champagne grape varieties, this remarkable cuvée is naturally elaborated with the famous chardonnay, pinot noir and meunier but more exclusively also with petit meslier and arbanne. These extremely rare varieties, covering barely 30 hectares each in the whole of Champagne, bring a light smokiness and peculiar mirabelle notes, unique to this cuvée.

The purity of Quinte Essences Nature will best express itself when enjoyed alone at the aperitif. However, its aniseed notes will easily sublimate a carpaccio of scallops with pomegranate and yuzu sauce.
