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 has been a family House since its creation in 1948. It blends its champagnes in the heart of the Reims mountains.

Today, Sébastian and his wife Eva are at the head of a 6.5 hectare family estate on the Premier Cru hills of the Reims Mountain. Little has changed in 70 years in this family champagne House, which has managed to preserve its love of the vine.
