100% Chardonnay from old-vine parcels located in two different 1er Cru villages, planted on classic, chalky Côte des Blancs soils. Grapes are hand-harvested and rigorously sorted, the bunches are never pressed, as this wine is free run juice only, extremely rare in Champagne and the main reason for its superlative purity. Fermented with ambient yeast in French oak. After blending and bottling, the wine ages on the lees for 15 months before disgorgement by hand, with zero dosage (added sugar).
It's hard to find a more pure Champagne than this one. An ethereal and poised nose of lemon, green apple, elegant floral notes, white pepper and superfine, chalk dust minerality. Verve and tension abound on the palate, displaying a cornucopia of citrus, golden apple and toasted brioche. The wine's real magic lies in the exquisite balance of richness and delicacy. A beauty in every sense.
