A vintage-led expression combining Grand Cru Pinot Noir power with Premier Cru Chardonnay lift.

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 raspberry, with light toast; taut freshness balanced by a broad, vinous palate.

How it is made
Forty-five-year-old vines on clay-limestone subsoil; mechanically cultivated soils; 5 g/L dosage and no malolactic fermentation.

Enjoy it with
Mushroom dishes, fine dry-cured ham or grilled poultry.
