DESCRIPTION This Champagne is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier--two of Champagne's primary grapes. The grapes are grown in top vineyards sites in the Marne Valley. These vineyard sites are made of sedimentary soils of calcium, silica, and limestone which impart layers of minerality into the wine. The wine goes through a cool fermentation in stainless steel and a complete malolactic fermentation. It is then left on the lees for a minimum of 20 months. TASTING NOTES A well-balanced and layered Champagne with expressive aromas of apple and white pear along with more subtle notes of almond, buttered toast and baking spices.
