This 100% black grape vintage is grown on land located in one of the biggest meanders of the River Marne.
This unusual topography combines erosion and sedimentation, making for a rich and complex terroir, giving character to this lively and fruity Champagne.

Ideal as an aperitif to whet your tastebuds.

TERROIR : Limestone subsoil topped by sedimentary alluvial deposits.

HARVEST : Vintage 2018

BOTTLING : 2895 bottles, bottling the 23/07/2019

WINEMAKING : 

The vinification and aging on fine lees take place at 50% in wooden barrels (ranging from 220L to 600L) for a period of 10 months after alcoholic fermentation, imparting body and smoothness to the wine. In addition to this, complex aromas result from micro- oxygenation.
A minimum 4 years aging period, during which bottles are horizontally stacked, makes for a rich aroma and a lovely lingering taste.
This Champagne with no added sweetness from dosage, preserve the initial intensity and freshness of the alluvial-limestone terroir.
