This cuvée has been created to celebrate the new century in 2000. It has been only made from the Cramant Grand Cru vineyard, which gives this smoky and woody taste. It is a prestigious and sophisticated cuvée with aromas of brioche, butter, creamy chalk, hawthorn flower and on the palate, we have an open and sharp attack, creamy effervescence offering flavours of dried fruits, biscuits, jam, sweet spices.

GROWER
On top of the quality of its champagnes, the essence of the Waris-Larmandier family is its sense for relationship: singular, faithful and true to its amateur roots. It’s a pleasure to meet them! Let yourself get carried away by their wines’ expressions, then you’ll understand their traits : a respect for values, the soils’ resonance, the grapes’ whisper, the expression of flavours and the reflection of your own desires. These are values on which the house of Waris-Larmandier is founded, values that resonate through their champagnes with strength, character and originality.
