Cuvée Sir Alex

The spearhead of the company

This extra brut blanc de blancs vintage, aged mainly in barrels, has rested for over 4 years in our cellars. Its fine, elegant bubbles and the finely sculpted, and lightly oaked Chardonnay aromas, express the personality of Alexandre Ruffin, who was the Grand Chevalier of the House.

With its pale crystalline gold colour, streaked with a string of fine, regular bubbles, the colour already reveals the purity and freshness of the vintage. The initial nose is fruity and exotic, evoking fresh guava, white mango and candied citrus zest. With aeration, more delicate nuances of bourbon vanilla and orange blossom appear, reminiscent of subtle and perfectly integrated ageing. The whole is seductive with its brightness and aromatic precision. The attack is lively, straightforward and chiselled, carried by a lemony acidity typical of Champagne Chardonnay. The texture then unfolds elegantly with notes of dried fruit, slivered almonds and macadamia nuts, bringing a sensation of softness and roundness that balances the tension. The finish, both salty and slightly toasted, lingers on accents of candied lemon and verbena, revealing beautiful fruit maturity and perfectly controlled ageing.
A cuvée of great purity of expression, combining aromatic brilliance, structure and mineral precision.
