{"product_id":"champagne-gardet-brut-tradition","title":"Champagne Gardet Brut Tradition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis classic non-vintage Champagne originates from France, within the Montagne de Reims subregion of Champagne. Founded in 1895 by Charles Gardet in Epernay, Maison Gardet relocated in the 1930s to the village of Chigny-les-Roses. Today, the estate is owned by the Prieux family, who continue to preserve the house's traditional winemaking philosophy: crafting structured, long-aged Champagnes rooted in high-quality fruit sourced primarily from Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards across the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs. The Brut Tradition is the quintessential flagship cuvée of Maison Gardet, reflecting the house style of richness, elegance, and exceptional lees maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, this wine exhibits a pale golden hue with steady, fine-beaded effervescence. The nose opens with an inviting array of white peach, yellow apple, and dried apricot, balanced by delicate floral notes, toasted brioche, fresh almond, and a touch of honeyed citrus. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious balance of roundness and vibrant freshness. The mouthfeel is broad and structured, showing flavours of juicy orchard fruit, lemon curd, and crushed chalk minerality, concluding with a crisp, dry finish. The blend consists of approximately 45% Pinot Noir, 45% Pinot Meunier, and 10% Chardonnay, incorporating around 30% reserve wines to maintain character consistency. The wine is aged on its lees for a minimum of three years prior to disgorgement, finished with a Brut dosage of approximately 8 to 9 g\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe structured body, bright acidity, and rich autolytic character of this Pinot-dominant Champagne make it an ideal choice both as an aperitif and as a versatile companion for food. It pairs brilliantly with fresh oysters, smoked salmon blinis, pan-seared sea bass, and tempura prawns. It also complements roasted chicken with tarragon cream, pan-roasted pork tenderloin, or wild mushroom tartlets. For cheese pairings, it sits wonderfully alongside soft, bloomy rind cheeses like Brie de Meaux, Chaource, or medium-aged Gouda.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300409 - International Cellars Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44097547599959,"sku":"589788","price":75.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/Champagne-Gardet-Brut-Tradition.jpg?v=1785865976","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/champagne-gardet-brut-tradition","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
