With the Cuvée l'Elégante our Champagne House complete the range of her Champagne in putting a prestige range. This Cuvée is distinguished by the shape of the bottle and does exists only in Grand Cru. Also our prestige range is composed by L'Elégante Grand Cru Brut and l'Elégante Rosé Grand Cru.
Considering that traditionally the Champagne area uses the technics of "assemblage" to realize her most famous Champagnes, l'Elégante d'EDOUARD BRUN is an "assemblage" of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinots Noirs made in barrels.
L'Elégante Rosé Grand Cru keeps the same "assemblage" in which is added Pinots Noirs made in red wine in old barrels; this Cuvée is though a Rosé d'"assemblage".
These two Cuvées combine lightness and fineness of Chardonnay associated to the powerful and the fruity of the Pinot Noir which keeps to l'Elégante the ideal partner to the privileged moments of the life.
These two Cuvées are not vintage Cuvées for very indiscret would it be to dare asking the age of an Elégante !...

1ER CRU - brut or extra-dry
Blending with a majority of pinot noir grapes (75%) processed in barrels, mainly issued from our vines and completed by Chardonnays and reserve wines. Maturing for long in our several hundred-year old cellars, this ample growth, powerful, fruity and well rounded can perfectly be served with any mealthanks to its strong body.
