- 60% Chardonnay – Brings freshness, elegance and citrus notes.
- 40% Meunier – Offers roundness, fruit and a silky texture.
The grapes come from the Lhéry terroir in the Ardre Valley, where the clay-limestone and sandy soil, combined with a south-western exposure, allows the berries to ripen beautifully.

Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled vats and oak barrels, ensuring beautiful aromatic complexity. After bottling in spring 2020, the cuvée rests on its lees for 36 months, refining its texture and developing deep aromas.
