Vintage champagnes from Champagne François Secondé are regularly included in the Champagne Stories range. A new vintage is presented each year. The wine is characterized by a light, creamy structure and aromas of acacia honey, candied fruits, flowers, spices, and citrus fruits.

This champagne is excellent as an aperitif, but also demonstrates gastronomic versatility – it pairs well with oysters, scallops, other fish and seafood dishes, as well as with chicken, white meat, or sushi.

This is a Blanc de Blancs made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes harvested from a single vineyard plot (mono-parcellaire) located in the village of Sillery (Grand Cru), where the producer itself is based. This is the only Blanc de Blancs from Sillery made from 100% Chardonnay precisely from this village.
