A toast to Champagne Gardet Cuvée Charles Gardet Prestige Brut Premier Cru 2006, a sparkling gem from the esteemed vineyards of Premier Cru. Scoring a noteworthy 95 points, it’s a testament to the exceptional 2006 vintage. The vibrant blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes reveals an inviting array of toasted brioche and ripe pear on the nose, giving way to a harmonious balance of citrus zest and fresh almond on the palate. This Champagne’s bright acidity and fine, persistent bubbles make it a versatile companion to a range of dishes, from fresh seafood to creamy risotto. Despite its prestige and the caliber of the vintage, it offers remarkable value, punching well above its weight in quality. It’s a smart choice for those special celebrations or simply to elevate an ordinary Tuesday night.
