This is one of the estate's rarest and most precious wines, but what a vintage! A fresh nose with great finesse and aromas of burlat cherry. A very surprising starter with a hint of smoke, followed by aromas of peony and red berries. The palate is invigorating, smooth, long and structured by fine, fresh tannins. Drink young on the fruit or later for more complexity.

Technique

Viticulture

Limestone and marl from the slightly ferruginous Kimmeridgian Jurassic, cool, sunny climate in southern Champagne, average altitude 250 m. Agro-ecological practices: precision viticulture, extensive prophylaxis, soil tillage, grassing or sowing in the inter-row, organic compost, no weedkillers, no insecticides, HVE and VDC certification since 2015.

Oenology

Harvested exclusively by hand and progressively according to the ripeness of the grapes. Sorting in the vineyard. Immediate transfer to openwork crates. Manual sorting on conveyor belt, gravity-fed vatting of whole bunches, infusion in open vats for a week, natural malolactic fermentation, light sulphiting. Aged 75% in vats and 25% in Burgundy barrels aged 3 years or more for 9 months, then bottled for 1 year to develop the wine's complexity.

Suggestions for accompaniment

Serve at 16°C and leave to open for 5 minutes in the glass or decant. Pair with a nice red meat like a leg of lamb or why not in a sauce like a boeuf bourguignon.
