Vinification

This N.V. Champagne is produced from "Premier & Grand Cru" grapes (40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir & 20% Pinot Meunier).

Characteristics

This cuvée blend is 100% from still wines previously matured for over a year in "foudres" (typical large oak barrels) hence some exceptional nose and aromas. Aged on its "lies" for another 4 years, each bottle of this limited production is numbered.

Tasting

This mature Champagne will be much appreciated by "connoisseurs" for its roundness and complexity both as a fine aperitif or with a meal, at an ideal temperature of 9 to 11°C.
