Production Details Dégorgement Tardif disgorged December 2017. Very dry and hot year, no spring frosts, but some precipitation early September. Due to low water reserves in soil, weight loss concentrated the juices - a rare phenomenon in Champagne. A superb year, balance close to that achieved in legendary 1976 vintage. Terroirs from Grande Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs. 43% Chardonnay, 57% Pinot Noir.
Tartaric Acid 7.0 g/L
