Équilibre Premier Cru
Premier Cru Extra Brut

This cuvée is born from the harmonious alliance between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which reveals all the expression of the Premier Cru terroir of the Petit Montagne de Reims. A champagne with a precise and balanced character, faithful to the high standards of Maison VIRGINIE T.

PREMIER CRU BALANCE

Balance as a guideline

Equilibre Premier Cru is a constant search for harmony. Between liveliness and texture, between freshness and length, between purity and complexity.

It is also a subtle interpretation of the terroirs. Unlike our more mineral vintages like the Blanc de Blancs, Equilibre draws its character from the clay-limestone soils of the Petite Montagne de Reims, with Sermiers and Jouy-lès-Reims as its central terroirs.

These rich soils give the wine a supple body, an almost chalky texture in the mouth, and a natural roundness that perfectly balances the Extra Brut dosage.


More than a name, a Balance.

FOOD AND WINE PAIRINGS

Delicate material and subtle cuisine

A wine of controlled contrast, perfect for dishes with a delicate texture, elegant fat, or fragrant sauces.

Crispy Red Mullet Fillets

The tender flesh, the golden skin, the buttery fat: ÉQUILIBRE will perfectly accompany the crispy skin of a line-caught red mullet fillet with its tension and chalky subtlety.


Creamy poultry and asparagus with sabayon
Tender poultry, a light sauce, a local vegetable - the wine takes center stage, discreet but essential.


Dessert made with fresh cheese or mascarpone
A dessert with cream cheese, natural vanilla, or tonka bean. Lightly sweet, yet creamy, it creates a weightless finish.

A measured dosage to perfect this vintage

At just 4 g/L, the dosage is there to highlight, not mask. It reveals a direct freshness, a delicate salinity, and lets the fruit speak for itself.

Despite aging younger than our Brut Transmission,

This vintage develops a complex aromatic palette: candied citrus fruits, chalk, sweet almond, hint of toast.

The length on the palate is surprising. It is the signature of this vintage: pure, subtle, structured.
