Alfred Gratien Cuvée Paradis Rosé 2008 is an exceptional Champagne from the region's finest terroirs. More vinous than effervescent, it gains in intensity and refinement as it warms in the glass, offering real ageing potential and a style suited to accompanying gastronomic dishes.

Association with the press of 2 adjoining plots located in the heart of the Pierry terroir: Les Tartières and Les Porgeons planted in 1990 and 1985. Pure expression of the complexity, between flesh and tension, of Chardonnays from Coteaux Sud of Epernay.

“Les Ribauds” plot reveals an atypical expression of Pinot Meunier: richness and roundness with, in particular, notes of quite ripe red fruits. The silts of the soil soften the clays: we find a certain freshness as well as spicy notes.

Agrapart Venus is a Cuvée from a single plot of Chardonnay of 0.60 hectare (Fosse aux porceaux) planted in 1959. This plot located mid-slope is worked only by man and horse in order to reveal another aspect of Avize terroir.

Maison Taittinger produces a vintage cuvée only when the harvest benefits from exceptional quality, just like the 1992 vintage. To this requirement are added several years of aging in the cellar, which guarantee the slow ripening of the aromas as well as the development of length and the complexity of the wine.
