This champagne ages for 24 months on its fine lees in the estate’s cellars. The magnum bottling took place in August 2022. This autolysis phase plays an active role in the development of toasted aromas before the lees are disgorged.

The blend consists of exactly 60% Pinot Meunier and 40% Chardonnay. The grapes come exclusively from vineyards grown on the clay-limestone terroir of the commune of Vandières, a renowned area in the Marne Valley.

The dosage is 1 g/L, classifying this bottle as Extra Brut. This very low sugar content preserves the wine’s freshness and minerality. The cellar master adjusts this dosage based on the acidity measured at each disgorgement.

The ideal serving temperature is 11 degrees Celsius. This temperature brings out the woody aromas without accentuating the wine’s natural acidity. Using a wide-bowled glass allows the champagne to gently aerate as it comes into contact with the air.
