Pressing then immediate transfer to oak vessels of different sizes (30% second- to fourth-use, 70% sixth-use or older) for fermentation and subsequently eight months on the lees, with stirring at different intervals depending on the nature of the vintage. Malolactic fermentation prevented to ensure that the wine retains its freshness after a long period of maturation in the cellar. After bottling, the wine was aged on its fine lees for four years. This is a blend combining the 2014 vintage (79%) with reserve wine from 2013 (21%).
Elegant and refined on the nose, with complex red fruit that marries exquisitely with fresh notes on the palate. The delicate finish typifies Chardonnay's natural elegance.
Almost eight hectares of vineyard, mostly situated in Hermonville around 10 kilometres north of Reims in the Marne Valley. Sunny south-easterly aspect on a slope, of which the upper sections are composed of sandy, loamy soils and the lower sections of loam, clay and sand. This well-drained, rich terrain forces the vines to root deeply in order to reach the nutrients and trace elements they need.
