Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The lively acidity and chalky minerality typical of Vertus Chardonnays, carried through to a citrus and menthol-tinged finish.
Roundness
The perfect ripeness of the 2010 harvest lends a silky texture and beautiful mid-palate breadth.
Power
A structured, deep vintage, driven by the richness of roasted dried fruits and the density of the chalky terroir.
Length
A persistent finish of candied citrus and toasted bread — the hallmark of the great Chardonnays of the Côte des Blancs.

TASTING NOTES

A luminous golden robe with amber highlights, fine and persistent bubbles. Complex, ripe nose weaving together candied citrus, golden brioche and the characteristic chalky mineral notes of the Côte des Blancs. On the palate, a silky, well-structured texture evolves towards roasted dried fruits and toasted bread, with a long, fresh finish of lemon and menthol.

Sourced from the 'Les Pas de Cheval' and 'Les Florancis' plots at the heart of the Premier Cru of Vertus, Côte des Blancs, on deep chalky limestone soils that lend the Chardonnay exceptional finesse, minerality and aromatic complexity.

René Rutat

About this house

Established in Vertus for four generations, the René Rutat estate tends 7 hectares across 28 parcels on the chalky limestone soils of the Premier Cru of the Côte des Blancs. Today, Flavien and Baptiste Rutat — the fifth generation — carry forward the art of artisan Champagne with an unwavering commitment to terroir expression.

Dedicated to responsible viticulture, the estate began its conversion to organic farming in 2016 and achieved full Agriculture Biologique (AB) certification in 2019. Each cuvée reflects their deeply held conviction that the quality of Vertus' soils is the primary source of their Champagnes' aromatic character.
