Selected yeasts with fermentation in thermoregulated stainless steel for six months. No malolactic. Minimal addition of sulphur. Subsequent lees ageing in bottle for 60 months. No dosage.
Gold colour, with a nose of lemon, yuzu, grapefruit, ripe red apple and white blossom, with autolysis notes of brioche, sponge cake and freshly baked, lightly toasted white bread. On the palate, this champagne is pleasantly rich with fine bubbles and a balanced body. The finish is long, with fine fruit notes and a slightly saline character.
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.
