Blend: 100% Chardonnay. The finest Chardonnays (Chigny les Roses,
Ludes, Montbré – Premier cru; Mailly, Verzenay – Grand Cru) are used
in this cuvée. Between 40 & 50% of reserve wines composed of almost
10 vintages are used to ensure roundness, complexity & consistency.
Vinification: Harvested by hand, whole bunch pressing, 100% pure
cuvée. Alcoholic fermentation at 17 ˚C and malolactic fermentation in
temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Horizontal aging in
traditional chalk cellars for at least 30 months. Wines are left to rest an
additional 2 to 6 months after dosage.
Dosage: 9 g/L
Acidity (H2SO4): 4.3 g/L
Tasting Notes: Pale yellow color with light green tints. Fine
persistent bubbles. Delicate aromas of white flowers (acacia,
hawthorn) and white peach. Initial impression is lively, fresh and
powerful. The aromas reveal notes of white peaches and citrus. Lovely
round mouth.
Pairings: This wine is meant for aperitifs. It will evolve elegantly when
paired with oysters, smoked salmon or aged Parmesan.
