Vintage Details

The 2020 vintage was characterized by balanced weather, with a sunny summer and cool nights that favored slow and complete ripening of the grapes. The temperature variations between day and night enhanced the varietal aromas of Chardonnay, contributing to a wine with an intense aromatic profile and pleasant natural acidity.

Winemaking and Aging

Production follows the classic method, the same used for Champagne, which involves a second fermentation directly in the bottle. After manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed, and the must ferments at a controlled temperature. The wine then ages on its lees for a period ranging from 36 to 48 months, during which it develops complexity, finesse, and a persistent mousse. The Jéroboam (3-liter) edition amplifies the wine's aromatic profile and longevity, making it perfect as a significant gift in its elegant wooden box.
