80% from 2020, 20% from perpetual reserve. Fresh grassy spring like nose, lots of red currants and yellow apples. It is a full and ripe wine but with crisp orchard fruit acidity. It is such a great Champagne, great for aperitif or on the table with oven baked fish. It is so fresh and accessible.
What's with the label? Dedicated to a long time team member at the winery who is now retiring. He has been working with Charles and his family for years. The artist captured this moment at harvest and the man hasn't been informed by Charles he's on his label yet! "Terrine et Jardin" is a friendly phrase to describe one who is in retirement life where everyday is all about enjoying eating terrine and tending to the garden :)
