Tasting Note

Delavenne ORIGINAL 60/40 Brut Tradition Grand Cru is a supple, fruit-forward Champagne made with a classic balance of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

On the palate, it’s generous and rounded, with ripe orchard fruit, gentle pastry notes and a lively, well-knit mousse that keeps everything bright. It finishes smooth and clean with a touch of citrus zest. A classy, down-to-earth Champagne Grand Cru that’s all about purity, finesse, and easy enjoyment.

Top food pairings:
