Champagne Gardet
Gardet was established in 1895 by Charles Gardet in Chigny-Les-Roses, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims. It was sold to the Prieux family in 2007. The Prieuxs have invested in the business, but wisely retained the features of the style of wine made over the years, only slightly refining it to be a little more forward-drinking with more fruit freshness and balance. The house owns around 7 ha of premier cru vineyards around their home villages of Chigny-Les-Roses, Luds and Rilly la Montage. The long tirage time and the use of a high proportion of reserve wine has marked the house style, and in fact is a distinguishing feature of Champagne Gardet.
Tasting Notes
Light and fresh, showing a lovely richness with a slight fresh citrus
flavour; extra-dry dosage (a little sweeter than brut).
Food Matches
A very good wine with desserts or peeled fruit. For a savoury dish try it with roast chicken - the wines extra sweetness comes through well.
