PLANTING DATE: 1946 and 1970

LOCATION: Village of Chouilly:

EXPOSURE: N/A

SOILS: white chalk soil dating from the SENONIAN (Upper Cretaceous geological period), microporous, offering excellent water reserves for the vines (plot Le Mont-Aigu), and soil of more recent sandy-sandstone formation, dating from the PALEOCENE with chalk alterites and an abundance of limestone fossils (Les Caurés); the latter imparts tension and finesse to the wines.

"An excellent Champagne from the GUIBORAT estate. With nearly 6 years of aging "sur lattes", this cuvée reaches perfection: with elegance and voluptuousness, it reveals that chalky minerality typical of the Caurés terroir—incisive, fresh, yet tamed by the sunnier expression of the Mont-Aigu terroir. Scented with citrus, green apple, and verbena, this vintage is a true favorite! "
