Produced by the traditional method and aged for nine years on its lees, it combines the character of a historic vineyard, planted in the 1950s, with the depth and finesse of extended maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright golden-white in colour with green-gold highlights, it has a lively, persistent bead. The nose brings together cocoa, white pepper and hints of tobacco leaf, with brioche, honey and hazelnut notes developed during its long lees ageing.\n\nGenerous yet balanced on the palate, the wine is marked by pronounced minerality and a creamy texture, finishing fresh and long. Its extended maturation has already given it notable complexity; enjoy it now to appreciate those developed notes, or cellar it carefully for further evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come exclusively from Clos des Graviers, a single vineyard in Breuil, where the vines date back to the 1950s.
