Produced from the 2016 harvest, marked by the climatic contrasts typical of the Champagne region, this champagne reveals all the resilience of the vintage. Despite a wet winter and dry summer that reduced yields, the grapes reached excellent ripeness, particularly the Pinots Noirs and Meuniers. An elegant blend of 48% Chardonnay, 34% Pinot Noir and 18% Meunier, it benefited from 6 years of maturation in the cellar and at least 6 months after disgorgement. Its extra brut dosage (5 g/L) underlines its pure, precise expression, offering a fresh, structured and subtly complex tasting experience. Contains sulfites.
