Desires to express the two sides of the river,
by confidently uniting the red berry fruit and fig depth of Aÿ pinot noir, the white peach definition of ripe norther Côte des Blancs chardonnay, and the spicy, toasted, coffee bean complexity of well-handled old barrel fermentation. Oak is sensitively handled, making more of a contribution in a creamy texture than in flavor or color. The result has body, power and flesh, tempered by fine phenolic grip, well-integrated acidity and invisible dosage on a long finish

- Beautiful, expressive Champagne with lots of complexity : red berry fruit and fig depth of Aÿ pinot noir and the white peach definition of ripe northern Côte des Blancs chardonnay, and the spicy, toasted, coffee bean complexity of well-handled old barrel fermentation.
