Tasting Notes
The house's first cuvée, Prologue, perfectly embodies the philosophy of Champagne J.M. Labruyère: it is the authentic expression of its terroir, sublimated by meticulous dosage that highlights the full ripeness of the grapes, as well as prolonged aging on the lees. The addition of 27% reserve wines from the three previous vintages gives this cuvée remarkable complexity and vinous character, while ensuring a perfectly balanced extra-brut dosage.
This cuvée boasts a golden color with coppery highlights, the prelude to a captivating sensory experience. On the nose, it offers a fruity, gourmand bouquet, evolving towards subtle notes of pastry and aniseed. On the palate, it charms with its perfect balance of delicacy and precision, leaving a lingering finish of subtle cherry aromas.
Blend: 69% Pinot noir and 31% Chardonnay
