Their Champagne wines are made in Baye, in their own cellars and in accordance with the traditional method.

About the wine

This cuvée is a blend of the winery’s best Chardonnay (1/3) and Pinot Noir grapes (2/3). The fermentation and lees ageing processes (in oak barrels) add notes of vanilla and woody aromas to this wine. In order to preserve its aromatic potential, this wine is unfiltered. This means that the wine can contain some leftover particles. However, this sediment does not alter the taste of the wine, nor its exceptional qualities. This vinous and full-bodied champagne can be enjoyed as an aperitif and with all types of food.
