A Quebec-based consignor, he developed an interest in wine after dining at Bistro Champlain and enjoying bottles from its iconic cellar. He has been collecting for the past 15 years, during which he primarily purchased bottles through the SAQ, though he also added to his collection while traveling or at auction. His wine collection was carefully stored in his home cellar, maintained at a consistent 12°C with humidity levels between 45-49%.
Winemarker notes - Venus is the emblematic plot of the Agrapart estate from a small plot of barely 60 ares - the Fosse aux pourceaux in Avize. The old Chardonnay vines, planted in 1959, are fully plowed by a faithful mare named ... Venus. This rare pearl is vinified only in demi-muids without new oak and only about ten per year. This non-dosed Grand Cru has spent, after its bottling in May 2016, nearly 5 years to age in the cellars of the House. On the nose, the floral notes are explosive, accompanied by powdered almonds and ultra-delicious fresh hazelnuts. The bubble is of a beautiful finesse, to lead to a mouth with a mineral and energetic structure, slightly spicy. The finish is lively, fresh and complex in a decidedly saline register. Here is a great champagne of crazy elegance, with aging potential of at least 10 or 15 years. Pair this great “Venus” with grilled fish, scallops, lobster ravioli with morels, caramelized sweetbreads, the combinations will be wonderful.
