88% Chardonnay, 12% Pinot Noir Dosage: 32g/l 30% reserve wines 2 years of bottle maturity The higher dosed cousin of the basic Cuvée Premier Temps. Fresh, fruity and, thanks to its high sugar content, perfect as an accompaniment to dishes with Asian spices or to desserts that are not too sweet. The Tocade has a dosage of 32g / l, which is the lowest amount for the Demi-Sec category, so in addition to the sweetness an invigorating freshness is preserved. Tastes of candied citrus fruits, acacia honey, a little bit of mint with a lot of finesse and harmony. Demi Sec champagnes are more versatile than many think: they go perfectly with high-quality desserts, Asian dishes, liver pâtés or cheese specialties. At the end of the menu, they freshen up the palate and let the evening fade away with a sparkling finish.  

Depending on Tirage100% Chardonnayorca. 85% Chardonnay, ca. 15% Pinot Noir Dosage: 6g/l 30% reserve wines 2 years of bottle maturity    The very serious entry into the world of champagnes by Jean Velut: All parcels are vinified separately, the grape material is gently pressed and expanded exclusively in stainless steel. For the assemblage, the most harmonious and accessible wines of the vintage are refined with a good 30% reserve wines and, after bottle fermentation, matured for at least 2 years. The result is a subtle champagne with fine citrus notes and floral nuances. Nicola FEB24: Delightfully nutty, crispy, spicy, nice light fruits, catchy, really fun to drink. Moritz FEB24: On the nose, something vegetative but also lime and a very fine nuttiness. On the palate, fresh and juicy. The nose is well reflected, but everything is carried by a chalky film that brings a great momentum. Lukas NOV22: Fresh notes of spices and apple-pear juice on the nose, juicy apples with a nice spiciness in the mouth, has tension and makes you want more Tasting FEB20: Lots of structure, nice creamy finish, very long, massive, crisp, not so soft, spicy, strong character, lively acidity well integrated at the back. Tasting FEB19: Have a drink and feel good, put it in, nice brioche, stone fruit, yellow fruits, juicy, nice ripe fruit, little acidity on the palate, but still a nice light acidity accompanies you so that you don't get tired and look forward to the next sip.
