Winemaking Notes: Harvested by hand, fermented and aged in Puligny-Montrachet barrels. 40% reserve wine; all reserve wine is conserved in barrel, not tank, to guarantee both harmony and complexity of the finished wines. The wine goes through malolactic fermentation, but the limestone soil keeps the acidity very bright.

Tasting Notes: Salmon-pink color with a significant ring of bubbles across the surface. Bubbles are rapid and continuous. Aromas of red berries (grenadine and wild strawberries). On the palate is freshness, drawn out over nuances of young red berries, with a full finish.

Terroir: La Maison Dosnon & Lepage is located in Avirey-Lingey, in the heart of a unique terroir called the Cote des Bar. Found in the southern part of the Champagne region, the vineyards are situated on rolling hills of hard limestone soils like Chablis. This terroir inspires particularly rich aromas and flavors in the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which acquire an exceptional finesse and fruitiness as they age.
