Product details
The winter in 2013 was very cold and snowy, the spring and early summer remained cold and wet, resulting in some coulure and millerandage and delaying flowering and ripening. August and September were warmer and drier, allowing a late but very good harvest. Low, south-facing hillside; clay-sandy-alluvial limestone soil with chalk gravel on Campanian chalk; 12,000 Chardonnay vines planted on 1.5 hectares in 1962, Chablis pruning. The grapes were picked on 10 October 2013. 10.6% alc., 7.8 g/l acidity
Tasting notes
This is an exceptional Champagne that combines purity and delicacy, a hyper-saline Chardonnay from Avize with a chalky texture, straight, sharpened by a tonic bubble. The nose is on citrus fruits, green apple and minerality. The palate is incredibly silky, with great freshness and that very pleasant chalkiness.
