Description

Cuvée Prestige Brut Champagne

Cuvée Prestige by Paul Lebrun is a refined and elegant Champagne meeting the highest expectations of demanding connoisseurs. It is aged on lees for a minimum of forty-eight months and produced in vats and oak barrels.
It is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes.

Tasting Notes

Cuvée Prestige Brut is intense and complex on the nose and is described as golden-yellow with tiny bubbles. The lively effervescence accentuates the ripe fruitiness of peach and nectarine. Hints of gingerbread can be found on the nose, alongside freshly churned butter and some floral notes. Quite greedy on the palate, with a creamy texture and well-integrated acidity, the long finish offers softness, suppleness and elegance.

Food Pairing: 

Cuvée Prestige Brut is delightful as an aperitif and the ideal champagne for gastronomy. It pairs beautifully with carpaccio of white fish or fresh seafood.

 Ideal drinking period:

Cuvée Prestige Brut has been aged in the Lebrun cellars and is ready to be consumed, ideally, within 12 months. It is best served at temperatures 6 – 8°.

 Reviews:

“I have enjoyed drinking good quality Champagne for more than forty years, and the Cuvée Prestige from Paul Lebrun is amongst the best I have ever tried!”
Anders Cassel, Partner Kingsgate Associates

“As a chef known for breaking the rules, I decided to serve the Cuvée Prestige Champagne with my haggis and neeps for my Burns Night supper club. Instead of toasting the haggis with whiskey, my enthusiastic diners were keen to try something slightly different. Toast duly completed, my guests tucked into the Mcsween chieftain haggis (2 kilos of Scotland’s finest haggis). There was much surprise at just what a superb paring the Cuvée Prestige was with the peppery richness of a traditional haggis and how the Champagne almost cleansed the palette for the next onslaught of haggis.”
