Winemaking: Traditional "Champenois" pressing. Only cuvées (first pressing) are retained. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats under temperature control between 16 and 20°C. Full malolactic fermentation done. Wine is aged in bottle on yeast for 3 years deep in the famous "Crayères" where the temperature stays at around 10 and 11°C. Dosage is 8g/l.

Tasting Notes: Straw gold color with light bubbles. Dried biscuits and chocolate aromas. Wine is soft in the mouth and rich and well-structured. To bring out the best in this wine, try a saddle of young rabbit with new vegetables, a double veal chop or, more unexpectedly, soft cheeses such as brie or camembert or perhaps comté or reblochon.
