Winery | A balanced blend of 12 Premiers and Grands Crus villages was selected during the 2014 harvest. 60% Pinot Noir gives the wine its structure, and from MaillyChampagne, Tours-sur-Marne, Avenay-Val-D'Or, Verzy, and Pierry, it brings power and elegance to the blend. 40% Chardonnay from iconic villages such as Vertus and Avize bring richness, softness, and elegance. The Villers-Marmery Premier Cru completes the blend, adding a mineral dimension and a touch of smoke. |
