- Aromas of ripe, juicy pear, a hint of grapefruit and lime, and delicate notes of green pepper and ginger culminate in a subtle salinity. A generous, lively attack leads to a lush, creamy texture with floral notes of linden blossom complemented by pear, mandarin and grapefruit zest.
The blend honours the heritage of the House style while emphasising the unique character of the 2013 vintage. The freshness and elegance of the Chardonnay are combined with the Pinot Noir's generosity and the Pinot Meunier's rounded charm. The grapes were gently pressed in a pneumatic press and then vinified using the traditional Champagne method. This wine was aged for a minimum five years in the cellar. A low dosage of nine grams per litre further refines this vintage's sophistication and delicate palate.

Winery | The Pinot Noir grapes are specifically selected from two crus, Verzy and MaillyChampagne, in the north of the Montagne de Reims, both characterised by their chalky soils. The Pinot Noir grapes from Mailly-Champagne have an elegance and finesse that harmonise perfectly with the Chardonnay from Grand Cru terroirs in the Côte des Blancs. They enhance, rather than overwhelm, the delicate floral structure of the wine. The result is an elegantly structured cuvée with a clear floral dimension. |
