This barely-blushing Blanc de Noirs is from both Premier and Grand Cru vineyards across the Montagne de Reims area. The blend is 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Meunier, from an almost even split between the 2015 and 2016 vintages. The wine saw partial vinification in oak, the remainder in stainless steel. Aging on lees was for a very extensive 58 months before the wine was disgorged at 5 g/L in early 2022. Only 3000 bottles were produced.
Notes of red fruits, peach, citrus, dried fruits and wildflowers intermingle with more developed violet and smoky notes. The palate is savory and powerful, with formidable structure and high acidity.
