Alfred Gratien Cuvée Paradis '15

What to expect- Jaw dropping new vintage a true artisanal producer- Pair with Seared Scallops and herbed butter- Aged in the cellar for 8+ yearsThe first nose is fresh and pure. It opens with aeration on grapefruit to let then come iodized notes and exotic fruits like passion fruit, pineapple and lime. Delicate touches of brioche bring the touch of greediness. On the palate, the Paradis cuvée is smooth and delicate, with notes of tangy white fruits, green apple, fresh currants and rhubarb. The chalky minerality brings the final touch to the wine.This beautiful champagne is ripe enough to drink, but it also has a bright future. Perfect maturity should be from 2023 onwards.
