Production Details Single-variety, single-harvest and single-terroir release from 2020, although the Champagne is not vintage-declared. The must was naturally settled and underwent slow, spontaneous fermentation in 50 hL stainless steel (80%) and used barrels (20%); the page additionally mentions 'reserve wine from 300 L barrels.' Malolactic fermentation was completed. The wine spent 10 months on lees before secondary fermentation and then 36 months ageing in bottle. Recommended serving range is 10–12°C.
Tasting Notes Light straw-yellow; lemon peel, lime, green apple, quince, oyster shell, sea spray, cream, yoghurt and nuts; elegant, concentrated, fresh and nuanced, with a long detailed finish.
