Assemblage et vinification

This Brut Vintage 2018 is made from the house’s classic blend: 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. The grapes come mainly from vineyards classified as Grand Cru and Premier Cru, favoured terroirs where racé power and crystalline purity unite. The harvest, meticulously sorted, produces base wines of great aromatic precision. Secondary fermentation is carried out gently, then the wine rests for a long time on the lees to sculpt a fine, persistent effervescence and to deepen toasted nuances and a creamy texture. Disgorgement, conducted with a concern for balance, allows the mineral thread and freshness of the wine to fully express themselves. This cellar time, so essential, gives the Brut Vintage 2018 noble tension, a delicate integration and a clear expression of the vintage.

Notes de dégustation

• Robe : Luminous gold with bright highlights, animated by a meticulous effervescence that draws a regular, elegant bead.
• Nez : A first impression of freshness, marked by citrus and white-fleshed fruits, followed by accents of delicate flowers, fine brioche, almond and hazelnut, on a subtly patisserie-like background.
• Bouche : Straight, silky attack, enveloping mousse, balance between the energy of Pinot Noir and the finesse of Chardonnay. The finish, extended by a mineral thread, leaves an impression of precision and drive.

Température de service et conseils

Serve this champagne between 10 and 12°C in a tulip glass to encourage the development of the aromas while preserving liveliness. Open the bottle a few minutes before serving to allow the most delicate notes to express themselves gracefully. Store your bottles away from light and temperature fluctuations, lying down in a cool, ventilated cellar. This vintage offers immediate pleasure but can gain in complexity after a few years of cellaring, if you wish to explore a more polished and nuanced dimension of its bouquet.
