WELCOME TO A JOURNEY INTO TASTE…

champagne Légende et foie gras

What a pleasure it is to have a meal paired with champagne!

Connoisseurs know that the best champagnes, the gastronomic champagnes, are best enjoyed at the table. They enchant the simplest dishes as well as the most sophisticated ones.

But what to do with this diversity of vintage and gastronomic champagnes? Which champagne to choose with your favorite starter, main course, cheese or dessert ?

Here are some perfect food and champagne pairings… To be enjoyed from aperitif to dessert…

With our youngest vintages and low dosage (like our vintage 2014 or our magnum vintage 2010), the freshness is predominant, so preference is given to the aperitif to awaken your taste buds …
