GRAPE VARIETIES BLEND:
Pinot noir 90 %
Chardonnay 7%
Pinot Meunier 3 %
VINIFICATION:
The juice comes exclusively from the first press. The base rape has flowed naturally thanks to gravity, with no pumping. We specially value this technique for the elaboration of our Champagnes. It allows to use very low quantities of sulfites (three times under standard vinification). This very «natural» vinification and the rare quality oak casks we use for part of the wines gives to our pinots a very beautiful copper-coloured aspect, close to last century's tradition.
Total acidity 5,2 g/l H2SO4
Dosage 5 g/l.
Dosage liquor matured in oak casks (over 15 years).
TASTING:
By Gérard Basset, MS.MW, Best Sommelier in the World 2010
Deep gold with bronze tinges, surprisingly still a great effervescence in the glass with plenty of tiny bubbles rising up quickly in the glass.
Powerful and magnificent nose with enticing notes of beeswax, ginger cake and lime tea.
Concentrated on the palate with a superb intensity of flavours and a candied lemon peel aftertaste lasting for an extremely long time.
This is really a sensational cuvée, providing great enjoyment now but that still has a huge ageing potential.

Medium gold with bronze tinges, few small bubbles in the glass.
Shy at first but then revealing some very elegant touches of coffee and Brazil nut but also nuances of lime.

Beautiful medium coper colour with golden tinges and a small cordon of very small bubbles.
The nose reveals some lovely candied cherry notes, then it opens up on a mixture of nuances dominated by notes of wild strawberry.
Tight at first on the palate but nevertheless quite juicy with a superb texture and an intriguing blood orange aftertaste.
This is a Champagne rosé quite unique in style and bursting with energy.
