Ten years of ageing on the lees. This is a symbiotic blend of Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay from a selection of old-vine plots harvested in 2012 – a great vintage.
Fascinating, complex nose of ripe fruit, roasted nuts, freshly baked bread, vanilla, and delicate spice. Elegant on the palate, with a fine mousse and a balanced body. The finish is multilayered and long. Disgorged in September 2023.
The estate has 7.25 hectares under vine, all situated in Vandières in the heart of the Marne Valley. Its 36 plots, mostly comprising old vines, grow on south- and south-east-facing slopes consisting of a patchwork of clay-limestone, chalk, sand and clay soils that make up a diverse and complex terroir.
