Wine characteristics

Grape variety(ies)

Chenin 80% - Chardonnay 20

Terroir

The vines are between 18 and 30 years old, and located on a Jurassic Terroir . The vines are completely grassed over.

Vinification

Traditional method. The grapes are harvested at very good maturity, in order to obtain a balanced sugar/acidity ratio. After clarification of the musts, the Chenin and Chardonnay grape varieties are vinified separately, so that each one keeps its typicity during the alcoholic fermentation. This is done at low temperature (16°/17°) and takes place very slowly, which allows the aromas of each variety to be preserved.

After tasting, these two vintages are blended in varying proportions according to the liveliness of the Chenin and the roundness of the Chardonnay. Bottling generally takes place in May.

Its fine mousse comes from a second fermentation in the bottle, after which it rests for an average of 24 months on fine lees (lattes) in the cool shade of our cellars.

Guide commentary: "A fresh and well-balanced brut, which combines Chenin and Chardonnay. The ripe fruit aromas are accompanied by buttery notes and a touch of toast when aired. The palate has a good balance between sugar and acidity. The finish is lively, with citrus and a slight bitterness."
