Un R de Folie Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Extra Brut Magnum

See: Muted yellow with glints of shimmering chartreuse. Soft, slow effervescence with delicate beads that rise to a light, frothy mousse. 

Smell: A relatively mature nose, both elegant and complex, which suggests that it will evolve with aeration. Citrus zest, orchard fruit and vanilla bean followed by 2015’s signature hint of baked biscuits and wet, fallen foliage.

Taste: Green Anjou pear, clotted cream and the warmth and richness of baking spices. In the finish, damp mineral notes, chalk dust and vegetal flavors of the 2015 harvest shine through with a long, lingering mouthfeel.

Pair: Pop this larger-than-life beauty for a super special celebration. Pour it with a decadent starter of oysters rockefeller and shrimp cocktail or a delicate fritto misto spread with tartar sauce and a squeeze of lemon. Then, roll right into a dinner of handmade pasta with crispy pancetta, shaved Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh black pepper. Serve a light salad with hazelnuts and tarragon vinaigrette if you must. Finally, bring out the goat cheese with a honey drizzle for dessert.

Celebrate: Your big weekend is finally here, but before you get swept away in the joyous sea of activity, you’re kicking off the celebration with an intimate gathering of your nearest and dearest. There are oohs and ahhs as the perfectly chilled magnums arrive at the table followed by cheers when you and your guests hear those signature pops. The party has begun!

The Redon family has been tending vines and making Champagne in the village of Trépail since 1982. After two decades as vigneron, Pascal Redon and his wife, Pascale, passed the estate to their eldest sons, Adrien and Hugo. With Hugo’s behind-the-scenes help in the vineyard and in the production house, head vigneron Adrien crafts his own unique style of Champagne. His low-dosage cuvées highlight the extraordinary chardonnay grapes born of the area’s beautiful chalky soil.
