For Champagne drinkers who actively seek purity and low dosage; its Pinot-led structure keeps it from feeling austere.

A five-generation grower Champagne house working Premier Cru villages around Rilly-la-Montagne and Taissy plus Grand Cru Mailly-Champagne. The estate has held France's High Environmental Value certification since 2016 and keeps the focus on vineyard expression rather than house scale.

In the glass
Apricot, peach and plum with quince and blackberry; fine bubbles, firm structure and a bone-dry, clean finish.

How it is made
No sugar is added at disgorgement; the current blend is 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Meunier and 20% Chardonnay, with malolactic fermentation.

Enjoy it with
Salty canapés, shellfish, hard cheese or simply as a precise aperitif.
