The Story

Luminous golden colour, made yet more lustrous by gracefully twirling bubbles that shimmer with pearly, iridescent reflections. Sweet, fresh-fruit nose (pear, Mirabelle plum, clementine) opens with air to reveal a fine mineral edge and aromas of vanilla spice. The elegant structure of the Chardonnay combines with the smoothness of the Pinot Noir to create a generous, creamy palate attack. Full-bodied fruit aromas are impeccably expressed, mingling with the mineral flavours and culminating in a pure, light finish.

Vintage 2005

 The 2005 vintage was a year of marked contrasts between seasons and regions. Following a fairly harsh winter, 2005 had a mild spring with relatively warm temperatures all year long. There was above average sunshine and a slight water deficit, as had been the case throughout the dry cycle of 2005/2004 and 2003. The heat and humidity in July produced larger grapes and bunches, rather unusually for the Champagne region, while the cooler weather in August, followed by a very sunny month of September, led to favourable ripening in spite of heavy parasite pressure. The harvest dates were “typical” of those of the decade: September 12th for Chardonnays and the following day for Pinots Noirs.
