Territory and style of the wine

This Champagne is born in Épernay, in the heart of the most iconic region for French bubbles. 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.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a bright gold color that is inviting. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet where green apple, citrus, fresh almonds, and a subtle smoky note emerge. On the palate, it impresses with great balance between freshness and substance, with an intense, refined taste structure consistent with the long aging of 10 years on the lees. The bubbles accompany a long, elegant, and persistent finish, with a sensation of great longevity and expressive maturity.
