Wine Information

Vinification
Only "la cuvée" (the first juice from the first pressing) is used to make this champagne. Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Vinified on fine lees in old small oak barrels and large casks with batonnages (beating in). Malo-lactic fermentation takes place. Unfined and unfiltered.

Tasting notes
The nose is intense and generous. Scents of fruits, of white flowers with spicy hints. In the mouth the champagne is broad and rich, powerful though still possessing good freshness.

Suggestions
Serve at 10 °C (50°F) as an aperitif, or at table with fish, poultry, white meats and cheeses.
