A step up in concentration from the house reserve, while retaining the freshness that makes grower Champagne so versatile.

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

How it is made
Fruit split between Grand Cru Mailly-Champagne and Premier Cru Taissy; 6 g/L dosage; malolactic fermentation. HVE, Viticulture Durable en Champagne and Vigneron Indépendant credentials.

Enjoy it with
Mushroom tart, Comté, dry-cured ham or grilled chicken.
