Produced only in exceptional years, this elegant cuvée combines the region’s chalky-mineral character with the refinement of extended ageing in historic chalk cellars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePale straw-yellow with green highlights, it carries a fine, creamy mousse. The nose opens with white flowers and mandarin, followed by notes of toasted almond. On the palate, lively acidity gives shape to a rich yet precise texture, with a persistent finish of chalky minerality and a subtle hint of salted butter.\n\nIts freshness and structure make it appealing now, while its extended cellar ageing and vibrant acidity give it the potential to develop further with careful cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chardonnay comes from the Grand Cru villages of Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, where chalk-rich soils and Champagne’s cool climate help preserve mineral character and bright acidity. Only the first pressing is used for aromatic purity; a small portion of the blend is aged in oak for four months, adding a restrained toasted note. After secondary fermentation, the wine matures for up to ten years in the Saint-Nicaise chalk cellars. A Brut dosage maintains its freshness and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled, around 8–10°C, with shellfish, oysters or lean fish, where its freshness and mineral finish come into their own.
