The \u003cstrong\u003eGrand Cuvée 1531 Crémant Brut\u003c\/strong\u003e spends twelve months on the lees, revealing aromas of green apple, ripe pear, and a hint of honey with a fine, persistent perlage.

The Cuvée Imperiale Max Rosé Brut matures for at least 24 months on the lees, similar to non-vintage Champagne, and offers candied apricot, red berries, and a creamy texture with a dry finish.

The strongest counterpoint is provided by the Bouvet Trésor Rosé Brut from Saumur: 100% Cabernet Franc, traditional bottle fermentation, and aged in oak barrels before bottling.
