SOILS: The grapes come from the same plots used for the L'INCANDESCENT cuvée; they are located west of Verzy, where the emblematic chalky soil of Champagne disappears under a thick layer of clay and recent colluvium. Heavier in nature, this soil is well-suited to Pinot Noir. However, the vine still benefits from the subsoil of CAMPANIAN chalk characteristic of the region.

WINEMAKING: Grapes are pressed, then the juice is vatted for alcoholic fermentation (using a starter of indigenous yeasts), followed by malolactic fermentation. Aged on lees for 6 months in stainless steel tanks (75%) and oak barrels (25%). Bottled without fining or filtration.
RACKING DATE: N/A
AGING "SUR LATTES": 54 months.
DOSAGE: 1.5 g/L.

"With nearly five years of aging "sur lattes", the nose offers intense brioche notes, leaning towards praline, while releasing bursts of lemon and green apple. The palate starts with a crisp attack; this cuvée is intended for lovers of rather lively Champagnes with beautiful complexity on the nose."
