A balanced, refreshing Champagne that has understated aromas of ripe pear and fresh white flowers with a well-integrated yeasty character. The bubbles are exuberant, and the acidity is crisp without being overwhelming. The overall impression is satisfyingly classic in style. The grapes come from a single 16-hectare estate in the village of Verneuil in the Marne Valley; red grapes make up two-thirds of the blend. The base wines are fermented in tank, and the malolactic fermentation is blocked. The wine is four years on the lees before disgorging with a dosage of 6g/L. 2018 base wine.
