This vintage is composed mainly of 50% Pinot Noir, a grape variety that gives the champagne its structure and intensity. The blend also includes 30% Chardonnay, which adds freshness and elegance, and 20% Meunier to round out the whole. This Vintage includes 10% of wines aged in oak barrels, which adds a subtle touch of complexity.
