Overview: Composed of the three Champenois grape varieties in equal proportions:
- Premier and Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs
- Premier and Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims, Aÿ and Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ
- Pinot Meunier from the right bank of the Vallée de la Marne
Launched in 2010, this unique cuvée is both 100% fermented and aged in a neutral oak barrel at a low temperature. Each variety ferments and ages separately in 15-year-old barriques. The wine is aged on its lees between six and seven years and undergoes partial malolactic fermentation.
Tasting Notes: On the palate, this bottle of bubbles is rich with toffee flavors as well as dried stone fruits, candied citrus, and lemon zest.
Pairing: Its strength of character and integrity make it an ideal accompaniment to poultry dishes or Girolle mushrooms.
