... A Champagne of soul

This prestigious cuvée is only produce for exceptional vintages and after a very strict selection.
The shape of the bottle has the same style of the fossil Belemnite.

Origin
100% Chardonnay GRAND CRU from Mesnil and old vines (planted in 1929) and located in the best Terroir of Le Mesnil. It is a very selected harvest on a unique soil. In 2002;, we had a small yeld because of a lack of rain. the slow maturation gave a powerfull and structured harvest. the nice acidity and the sugar level was well balanced. This wine is not blended, it is a perfect expression of the famous Terroir Chardonnay of Le Mesnil. It stayed 6 years in our cellars at contacte temperature of 12°C in order to give the complexe expression of this prestigious Terroir. The "dosage" is as an extra-brut to keep the natural style of the wine.

Wine notes

Limpid wine, shining. Pale yellow colour with green reflections. Abundant and persistent foam when puring which disappear slowly to leave room to a carpet of fine bubbles. The very air noses, leave a mentholated note, associated with yellow citrus fruits attacks (grapefruit and green lemon). The fresh mouth, points out fresh citrus fruits of the nose. The long final, is underlined by pieces of lemon peel and the minerality of the soil.
