Based on the 2018 vintage. A blend of 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier, based on fruit from across the appellation. After the first fermentation in stainless steel, each tank undergoes malolactic conversion. After blending with a base of 25% reserve wines, 5% of still red Pinot Noir is added. The non-vintage is aged for three years before disgorgement. Dosage is 9g/l.
"Pale orangey bronze that positively glows in the glass. Beautifully integrated nose with many a nuance. Now this is a romantic pink champagne! Creamy texture, seductive fruit that finishes very clean and dry – as in not sweet. Delicate, stereotypically 'feminine', but not wimpy. With an admirable undertow that goes on and on, on the palate."
