Description
- Profile : Mature and Complex
- Our 18 hectares vineyard is situated on the southern slopes of the Valley of the
- Marne, between Charly-sur-Marne and Chateau Thierry.
- The soil is clay and limestone on the upper and middle slopes becoming silty and light and the bottom of the hillside.
- The oldest vines are almost 50 years old.
- The Harvest is done completely by hand after the fruit reaches an optimum
- maturity, followed rapidly by gentle incremental pressing.
- Settling of the juice for a minimum of 12hrs, followed by careful siphoning of the
- clear juices.
- Alcoholic fermentation in thermo-controlled Stainless Steel Vats, followed by a
- Malo-Lactic fermentation by choice.
- Blending : 100 % Chardonnay
- Only grapes from the 2011 harvest from our oldest chardonnay vines planted in our best soils are the soul of this vintage cuvée.
- It represents a mere 4% of our production.
- Bottling took place in the spring of 2012.
- Secondary fermentation and ageing "on the lees" for 36 months minimum.
- Disgorgement: 3 to 6 months before « commercial sale »
- Dosage : 9 gr /L
- Size : Bottle (75cl) only
- The pale gold colour, tinted with green reflections, underscores the pretty bubbles scattered through the ephemeral
- mousse.
- Very light notes of elderberry, candied ginger and tuberose add to a rich nose of citrus and buttery touches.
- The mouth feel is coated with body and roundness, which is prolonged on a persistent lemon finish: a complex
- Chardonnay at its optimum maturity.
- Time(s) to consume: as an aperitif or at the beginning of the meal according to taste.
- Food and Wine paring: appetizers (vegetable maki), skrimp curry, poultry in a spicy black tea stir fry.
