**Translated from French to English** “Beautiful light gold color. Delicate nose combining white fruits, biscuit, and brioche tones. On the palate, a very fine texture, chiseled aromas echoing the nose, all carried by a very pleasant tension. A truly accomplished vintage.”

A blend that is half Pinot Meunier, this is soft and fruity. It is well balanced between texture and fresh white fruits, showing just the right amount of bottle aging. Drink now. Roger Voss

Cult Wines International Notes:

Cattier is a family-owned Champagne house with a rich history dating back to 1763, though they have been producing Champagne under their own name since 1918. The house is a prominent independent producer, known for their focus on quality and their long-standing viticultural heritage.

The Cattier Icone Brut is a non-vintage blend that is the house’s signature offering. It is a traditional blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, with the grapes sourced from the family’s vineyards primarily located in the Montagne de Reims, a region known for its Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards. The wine is aged for a minimum of three years on its lees, which is longer than the legally required 15 months, contributing to its complexity and depth.

On the nose, it offers a fresh and expressive bouquet with notes of citrus, pear, and white flowers, complemented by subtle hints of toasted brioche and almond from its aging process. The palate is known for its elegant balance, with a fine and persistent mousse that carries flavors of ripe fruit and a clean, refreshing minerality. The finish is long and satisfying, making it a versatile Champagne that is equally enjoyable as an apéritif or paired with a variety of light dishes.
