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.
