Deep clay soils overtop Champagnes campanian chalk. 37 acres of vines averaging 45 years of age. Hand harvested. Viticulture is certified HVE (High Environmental Value) and VDC (Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne) and nearly four hectares have been transitioned to fully organic. Blended with 40% reserve wine from a perpetual stock and aged on its lees in bottle for up to 5 years before disgorgement. The lot number gives the base vintage. 80% Pinot Meunier, 10% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir.

Beautifully mature, thanks to the lovely reserve wine. Full-bodied, chalky and long. Very flavorful with stone fruit and leesy, bread dough notes

The bouquet wafts from the glass in a complex constellation of apple, white peach, fresh-baked bread, chalky soil tones, a touch of hazelnut and a lovely topnote of meunier floral tones. On the palate the wine is crisp, focused and full-bodied, with a lovely core of fruit, fine balance and grip, good soil signature, elegant mousse and a long, poised and complex finish. The extended aging on its fine lees shows very nicely here, as this wine is drinking with generosity today! Fine juice. 2024-2045. – John Gilman View from The Cellar.
