Vintage details

The reference vintage for this Champagne comes from a balanced harvest, with sunny summers and moderate rainfall that maintained perfect freshness in the grapes. The hand-selected grapes reach optimal aromatic maturity, offering a fresh, mineral, and harmonious profile. This combination of climatic factors results in a wine with a refined balance between fruit and acidity.

Winemaking and aging

The three traditional Champagne varieties – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier – are vinified separately to enhance their characteristics. After a brief aging in wood, the base wines are blended with a small percentage of reserve wines, which lend depth and gustatory complexity. This is followed by secondary fermentation in the bottle, according to the traditional method, with a long aging on the lees for at least 36 months. This step enriches the wine with creamy notes and promotes the development of fine, persistent bubbles. The final dosage is in the Brut style, perfectly balanced to maintain freshness and savoriness.
