The Ratafia de Champagne is the most natural “aperitif”. It is prepared by “Fortifying” freshly pressed grapes from our vineyards with “Eaux de vie” de Champagne. This is done before any fermentation takes place.
It’s while aging that the Ratafia de Champagne acquires its mellow texture and a radiant amber sheen.
The Ratafia must always be served chilled and preferably without ice. It can be savored with Parsley Cheese, or with a chocolate dessert (as a dessert wine).
It’s a treat when it holds company to melons in spring, or to “Foie Gras” around New-Year’s Eve.
