Notes from Regal Wine Imports:

"The blend is 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Meunier and 30% Pinot Noir with a dosage of 6 grams. It is the largest cuvée at the domaine. They produce about 3,000 cases per year. A nose that has a lot of complexity with aromas of white fruits, citrus, dried fruit, white flowers, brioche and honey Flowers ventilation. Rich material recorded by a fine and refreshing bubble offers a well-balanced wine.

Champagne Louis Nicaise is located in the Vallee de la Marne village of Hautvillers in the heart of Champagne. Dom Perignon made this village famous and it is known as the birthplace of Champagne. Though the historical record is not clear on that point. The fourth generation Nicaise estate has taken a qualitative turn for the better in recent years. The new generation of Laure Nicaise-Préaux and her husband, then 25 year old Clement Préaux, began working at the domain in 2007. Clement apprenticed with the great Anselme Selosse before then, and the young couple has implemented a progressive approach including lower dosage and gaining certification for sustainability."
