"Val Cornet is undoubtedly the ultimate showcase of Nathalie Falmet's talent, renowned for her production of age-worthy Champagnes. Its five years of aging 'sur lattes' give it an extraordinary patina and vinous texture. The complexity of the aromas, ranging from candied citrus and praline to nutmeg, makes Val Cornet a great gastronomic Champagne!"
