An outstanding Champagne made exclusively from the fruit of the very best (Grand Cru) vineyards. Pale, lemon in colour with fine, long-lasting bubbles. The nose is subtle and fresh, the initial mineral aromas quickly develop into green, floral scents with hints of elderflower and spicy cinnamon overtones. On the palate, fresh citrus gives way to fuller flavours of white peaches, which accompany its full, well-rounded texture. The finish is long, rich and extremely expressive.

Press Review
" The nose is shy and subtle, though notions of red apple, peppery rye crumb, stone and lemon emerge with more air. Tightly coiled, the palate suggests spicy riches with its insinuations of white pepper and tangerine peel. A lovely interplay of Pinot richness and Chardonnay slinkiness, showing depth, svelteness and elegance. It justs needs air to breathe. Gorgeous. Drinking Window 2020 - 2030 "
Winemaking
A Grands Crus Champagne comes exclusively from vineyards in the 100% category of Champagne classification system. It is made entirely from cuvée (first pressing). The blend comprises 50% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs (Avize, Le Mesnil sur Oger) and 50% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims area (Bouzy, Ambonnay), thus obtaining the finesse and structure which a great champagne requires if it is to be laid down for any length of time. Cellar ageing on its lees has enabled the fine, delicate aromas of this wine to open up and develop.
