This new estate cuvée combines the 3 grape varieties of Champagne: 54% Pinot Meunier, 34% Chardonnay, 12% Pinot Noir. The nose is already seductive, with an expression of white fruit and fresh almond, which continues on the palate with delicate effervescence and a fruity finish with a refreshing bitterness. A convivial Champagne for sharing.

About the domain :
When Pascal and Sandrine took over the reins of the estate in 1995, they set out to give it new impetus: the vineyard expanded to 4 hectares 40, and integrated viticulture was introduced in the vines. Their son, Thibaut, joined them on the estate in the summer of 2015, perpetuating the House's winemaking expertise and family commitment.
