Champagne Rene Geoffroy
The essence of terroir is the convergence between the substrate (geological origin, soil, sub-soil), topography (slopes, altitude, orientation) and climate. The winegrowing landscape of Champagne is the fruit of a veritable artistic creation between the winegrower and nature over the centuries. It is a living repository of a collective heritage. The vineyard comprises 14 hectares extending over the slopes of Damery, Hautvillers, Fleury-la-Rivière and especially Cumières. Cumières is a small village classified as ‘premier cru’, nestling between the river Marne and rugged slopes exposed to the southeast. The Geoffroy vineyard consists of a mosaic of 35 plots of this land, where the 3 champagne grape varieties (24% Chardonnay, 34% Pinot Meunier and 42% Pinot Noir) are able to fully express themselves, benefitting from its microclimate. The soil provides essential support to the vineyard, preserving the balance of each plot. Our search for harmony with nature is guided by our philosophy: respect for life, the environment and for future generations who will live off this land.
Description
Champagne with golden highlights reflections and fine light foam. On the nose, exotic fruits (pineapple, lychee, grapefruit) blend with a delicate minerality to bring a real purity. A refined and silky mouth reveals a remarkable skeleton, punctuated by delicate aromas of brioche or even fresh butter.
Food Pairing
Ideal partner for the aperitif, this Champagne Volupté can be associated with a very fine fish such as line caught sea-bass roasted or, why not, a goat’s cheese or a parmesan. After a few years in the cellar, enjoy this Champagne with a duck foie gras duck that has been semi-cooked or seared.
