Our champagne
Exclusively produced in the surroundings of Leuvrigny, France, we set the highest quality standards for our champagnes. Our champagne, full name: Mademoiselle Geneviève Larsen selectionnée par HEDONIST, promises true moments of pleasure.
For our Hedonist we exclusively use the free run juice, which we develop in large oak barrels after a temperature-controlled cool fermentation. The grapes for our Hedonist come exclusively from the slopes of the "Marne Valley" in the heart of Champagne. They have been carefully harvested and processed in our cellar. We concentrate on 100% Pinot Meunier to preserve the characteristic acid backbone that gives the hedonist his unmistakable "play". The cuvée ferments for at least 24 months in the bottle to obtain a fine, dense mousseux and to give the Hedonist its classic champagne-brioché tone. Only 15 months are required by law for fermentation. By a careful, longer storage, the quality can be increased additionally.
Of course, our champagne is officially registered with the Comité Champagne, France and enjoys worldwide trademark protection.
Brut
Straw yellow with green reflections, fine pearly, delicate and dense mousseux. Elegant aromas of fresh peaches, apples and grapefruit on the tongue and in the finish classic Brioche aroma with a hint of Cox Orange. The shower stops and forms an exciting foam cord. The shade is slightly golden. In the first nose we find fleshy yellow fruits aromas peach, apricot. After a few minutes, notes of dried fruit (hazelnut) and honey spread. The mouth is very round, greedy and retains freshness and a nice acidity at the same time. These are mainly pastry flavors that are created.
With its concentrated structure, the Hedonist accompanies an entire menu from aperitif to fruit-dominated dessert, mild blue cheese and digestif. Dishes like caviar, stewed fish, sashimi or graved style salmon, dishes based on shallots, basil and/or ginger, but also seafood flavoured with garlic or lemon grass, are just some of many possible dishes.
Roeé
Our mild rosé champagne is the modern alternative to the classic Brut champagne. Its lively, intense bouquet and exceptional taste of ripe berries make it the perfect companion.
Based on our Brut mixed with 12% red wine.
The freshness on the palate develops aromas of currant jelly and mixed berry jams. The bubbles are discreet in their appearance and present a play of colours from salmon nuances combined with orange highlights. The nose is delicate and opens with a scent of orange liqueur and cherry eau de vie.
The cuvée is characterised by its fine, summery aromas of red fruits, which the hedonist fully ignites as an aperitif, with seafood or with dessert. Its summery freshness makes unforgettable holiday days return all year round.
