Champagne Cattier Brut Icône

La Maison Cattier is located in Chigny-les-Roses, an exceptional terroir classified as Premier Cru in the heart of Champagne, between Reims and Epernay. The Cattier family has owned vineyards since 1763, but it wasn’t until 1918 that Champagne Cattier was launched.
Since then, the Cattier House, still independent and family-owned, perpetuates its age-old know-how in the greatest respect of the environment to elaborate its champagnes with a generous and fruity style.

Made from twenty different Crus, the Brut Icône Cattier is produced primarily using pinot grapes. The perfect combination of power and finesse, it owes its complexity to these pinot varieties and from the older wine added to the blend. The result is a generous champagne, brimming with vitality.

Certified sustanaible Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) and Viticulture Durable en Champagne (VDC).

APPEARANCE
This champagne offers a pale gold colour, broken by a ribbon of fine, regular bubbles.

PALATE
Full, fresh flavours of grapefruit, lemon and ginger dominate the palate, paving the way for more delicate notes of cherry, pear, mirabelle and apricot. The fresh tartness continues all the way through to the long, strong finish.

PAIRING
A magnificent champagne to serve as an aperitif, the Brut Icône is perfect during the evening and a fitting accompaniment to dishes such as capon in a cream sauce.
