- Tasting note
- This round, rich Champagne has a plush creaminess, which is well met by a backbone of racy acidity that drives finely meshed flavors of baked nectarine and apricot fruit, candied lemon peel and ginger, pastry cream and toasted hazelnut as they expand on the palate and through to the zesty finish. A lush version, with a sense of restraint.

- Vinification
- The harvest is done manually and then the vertical press membrane, "Cœur de cuvée" follows. The wine ferments in oak but without malolactic fermentation and rests for 7 months on it's fine lees. After bottling with liqueur de tirage the bottles age for 7 years in cellar before the disgorgement. The dosage is extra brut, 3g/l.
