Blend
First pressing Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from grands crus vineyards “Côte des Blancs”.

Reserve wines
25 vintages, going back to 1985.

Ageing
Four years sur lie, then ten months further ageing after disgorgement. The delicacy of the bubbles helps to tame the naturally mineral Grands Crus to offer a sensation that is both creamy and lively.

Specificity
A very old winemaking method is used where fermentation in the bottle is less powerful than traditional champagne.

Dosage
Extra brut, very low dosage: 5g/L.

EYE Very pale and shiny with green tints. The effervescence is lighter than in the other Champagnes thanks to a less powerful bottle fermentation.

NOSE First aromas are citrus – lime and grapefruit – followed by white flowers. While opening in the glass, a touch of almond and toast appears.

PALATE The entry is lively leading to a complex combination of citrus and white flowers. The effervescence is extremely fine, silky and creamy. The finish is fresh and long.

The Rose comes in 75 cl bottles and magnums . It is produced in very small quantities (15 000 to 20 000 bottles per year). Each bottle carries a label against the month and year of disgorgement.
Like all very fine wine, our champagnes are also relatively fragile and should be stored carefully, and within its UV protective cellulose film until serving. Never leave a bottle in the refrigerator for more than a few hours; the cold may “break” the wine.
