Vintage Details

Champagne Brut H.

Winemaking and Aging

Subsequently, the wine rests in the bottle for at least 24 months on its lees, during which time it develops its complex notes and typical creaminess on the palate. The dosage, of the Brut type, adds minimal sweetness, perfectly balancing acidity and structure, for a balanced and highly enjoyable sip.
