The Pinot Meunier component in this champagne came from old vines that grow in a south-facing plot on a top layer of chalk, surrounded by numerous Chardonnay vines. The grapes were rich in sugar, showing expressive minerality. Aged for 72 months on the lees. No dosage.

Gold colour, with an elegant mousse. Initial nose of citrus (yuzu) followed by fresh apple, before pastry aromas lift the complexity to a higher level. Pure and linear on the palate, with the fruit notes complementing the minerality. Great tension and salinity on the finish.

The estate has 7.25 hectares under vine, all situated in Vandières in the heart of the Marne Valley. Its 36 plots, mostly comprising old vines, grow on south- and south-east-facing slopes consisting of a patchwork of clay-limestone, chalk, sand and clay soils that make up a diverse and complex terroir.
