Territory and wine style

The grapes come from Dizy Terres Rouges Premier Cru, in the Montagne de Reims, an area that imparts structure, energy, and a distinct mineral imprint. The grape variety is pure Chardonnay, making it a true Blanc de Blancs, capable of expressing elegance and aromatic precision. The clay soil over a thick layer of chalk, along with the south and southeast exposure, contributes to its momentum and sapidity. Manual harvesting, fractional pressing, and 30 months of aging on lees complete a style that is refined and consistent with the quality of the cru.

Tasting notes

The bouquet evokes lemon zest, toasted almond, and a hint of mint, with a mineral nuance that guides the nose towards a crisp and defined sip. On the palate, it is precise, chiseled, and well-presented, with a balance that unites opulence and tension. The fresh and chalky component supports the long, clean finish, leaving a pleasantly savory and refined sensation.

Recommended pairings

It is ideal with seafood crudo, oysters, fish tartare, amberjack or sea bass carpaccio, but also with shellfish, squid, and Japanese cuisine preparations.
