The clay-limestone soil contributes to giving tension and finesse, while parcel vinification helps enhance the vineyard's identity. The subsequent passage in oak barrels adds complexity and depth without covering the character of the Pinot Meunier, a grape variety that in this interpretation expresses maturity, balance, and a pleasant aromatic richness. The Extra Brut style maintains a clear, essential, and harmonious sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003ebright gold\u003c\/strong\u003e color that is inviting.
