Production Details General cuvée specification: lots remain separate by terroir during alcoholic fermentation; fine-lees élevage precedes blending; subsequent cellar maturation is protected from light and maintained at constant temperature; dosage is stated as a 7–8 g/L range. Base-year 2018 release: colour came from a saignée of Pinot Meunier, the vins clairs were raised in stainless steel, and the wine spent two years sur latte before disgorgement. Base-year 2008 release: Côte des Blancs reserve wines came from a solera dating to 1988, and production combined co-maceration with wine addition; its dosage was also reported as 7–8 g/L.
Tasting Notes Fresh strawberry, raspberry and gooseberry; floral aromas; pink grapefruit, pomelo and blood orange; creamy notes; freshness, smoothness and chalky minerality
