Spring forest and yeasty pastry dough notes are an aromatic entry for this firmly cut Champagne. Crackling acidity creates a mouthwatering frame for flavors of smoked almond, plum, golden raisin and fleur de sel. Offers a creamy finish, with a lingering hint of oyster shell. Disgorged July 2015.

The 2008 Brut Cuvée Empreinte is striking. Rich, nuanced and incredibly inviting, the 2008 possesses striking mid-palate sweetness and silkiness, with expressive red stone fruit, spice, licorice and floral notes that are woven together effortlessly. This is an especially open 2008 that can be enjoyed young, as its balance is impeccable. The Empreinte, one of the house's signature wines, is a blend of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, all from Cumières. Dosage is 6 grams/liter. Disgorged: November 2014.
