Availability: in stock

A cuvée with a pronounced character, bringing together both density and lightness.

The Cuvee Lightbreaker by André Chemin House is an intense champagne with mineral notes.
This champagne is blended with 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay which come exclusively from the estate's Premier Cru vines. It is aged on lees for 3 years before disgorging. It is then left to mature for a few more months before being sold.
The Prestige Cuvee by André Chemin has a sugar content of 5.5g/l. It is somewhere on the borderline between Brut and Extra-Brut champagnes, i.e. it is less sweet and allows the aromas to express themselves more freely.
For what occasions should it be served?
The delicate combination of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay makes it the perfect complement to melon-based appetizers. It also works well as a summer aperitif.
We recommend serving it with white ham or fish.

Champagne Andre Chemin

André Chemin's house prefers to advance through continuity rather than disruption.

Since 1948, three generations have succeeded each other with the same commitment to producing champagnes true to their Sacy terroir, while evolving practices when it makes sense.

Today, Eva and Sébastien continue this family story by placing sustainable viticulture at the heart of the estate. A house that looks to the future without ever forgetting what has built its identity.
