Description
This box set is a high-flying selection, intended for enthusiasts who wish to explore the concept of terroir and varietal specificity (grape varieties). Unlike a classic gift set, this one focuses on recent but already iconic vintages, offering a striking contrast between the power of Pinot Noir and the purity of Chardonnay.
The "Single-Vegetable" Duel (Philipponnat vs Roederer)
The strength of this box set lies in the presence of two masterful interpretations from the year 2019, processed using 100% single grape varieties:
-
Philipponnat - Blanc de Noirs 2019 : The quintessence of Pinot Noir. Philipponnat is one of the greatest specialists in structured wines. Here, the focus is on power, deep red fruit, and a vinosity that can accompany an entire meal. The Extra-Brut guarantees a tense and nerve-wracking finale.
-
Louis Roederer - Blanc de Blancs 2019 : In contrast, this 100% Chardonnay is a model of verticality. Roederer uses grapes from the Côte des Blancs (Avize, Cramant) to offer a silky wine, with notes of citrus and white flowers, a creamy effervescence and incredible chalky minerality.
Audacity and Design: Brut Nature Starck Rosé 2018
The inclusion of la cuvée Starck adds a contemporary and intellectual dimension to the box set:
-
It's a champagne "naked" (undosed), the result of a collaboration between cellar master Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon and designer Philippe Starck.
-
In its rosé version, it's a rare find, relying on cold maceration to achieve an absolutely pure color and aromas of wild berries. It's a vibrant, modern wine that breaks with traditional conventions.
The Coronation: La Grande Dame 2018
Place a bottle of La Grande Dame In this box, it's about injecting a dose of historical prestige.
-
While other wines explore specific segments (Blanc de Blancs, Nature), La Grande Dame represents sovereign balance and ultimate luxury.
-
The 2018 vintage, bursting with sunshine, offers a generosity that perfectly complements the tension of the other bottles in the set. It's the centerpiece for a special occasion.
