The prestige reflects the history of Saintot champagne. Indeed, the oldest wines are blended here by using the Solera method. These wines will give aromas resulting from a basket of fresh fruits, such as white fruits, exotic fruits and small red fruits. The characteristics in the mouth express a certain power and corpulence while remaining balanced by a sensation of freshness and tonicity at the service of the fruit. The prestige will be enjoyed during prestigious aperitifs and with grilled meats.
