Here's a rarity: a pure blanc de blancs in pinot noir country! A limpid, golden yellow colour with green highlights. Fine, complex nose, with an exotic touch: mango, mirabelle plum, lime blossom, honeysuckle, citrus fruit, fresh almond, sweet spices. Unctuous on the palate, sustained by noble bitters, with a long, saline finish. Drink fresh within 3 years, or more complex up to 10 years. James Suckling: 93/100

Technique

Viticulture

Varied limestone and marl from the Kimmeridgian Jurassic, cool, sunny, semi-continental climate in southern Champagne, average altitude 250 m. Agro-ecological practices: precision viticulture, extensive prophylaxis, soil tillage, grassing or sowing in the inter-rows, organic composts, no weedkillers, no insecticides, HVE and VDC certification since 2015. Development of biodiversity by planting orchards, truffle oaks, melliferous fallow land, late mowing of grassed areas (pollination), restoration of vernacular heritage (cadoles).

Oenology

Harvested exclusively by hand and progressively according to the ripeness of the grapes. Sorting in the vineyard. Immediate transfer to openwork crates. Slow pneumatic pressing, no pruning, static settling, simple yeasting, natural malolactic fermentation, light sulphiting, light filtration after chilling. Aged for an average of 36 months on the lees, disgorged with a low dosage of 5 g/L to preserve the purity of the wine.
