Grande Réserve - Half-bottle 37.5cl

Terroir: Allemant, Broyes and Sézanne (Côte de Sézanne). Clay-limestone soil. Harvest: Manual. Natural maturity close to 10.8°. Vinification: Parcel. Heart of the vintage, indigenous yeasts, systematic malolactic fermentation (with indigenous bacteria) to avoid the addition of sulphites and favor more supple and balanced wines. No filtration to preserve the aromas specific to the wine and keep the lees fine. Éaging: Minimum 8 months in vats on lees and up to more than 2 years for reserve wines. The lees provide aromas and depth. The wines have time to enrich, rest and clear up naturally. Blend: 65% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, 15% Meunier for rounder and more balanced wines. 73% 2014, 27% 2013. Aging: Minimum 6 years in bottle on fine lees to give the aromas time to assert themselves and soften. Dosage: Brut 6.5 g/L, low dosage so as not to mask the wine with sugar. Disgorgement: 07/13/2021. Pairing: Sea bass in an aromatic crust, pan-fried foie gras or even Chaource cheese accompanied by grape jelly. Quote: 2 stars Guide Hachette 2017-19, What to choose December 2020 and 2021, Tasting advice: 12°, open it a few hours before (see the day before like a wine), by repositioning an airtight cap, in order to fully enjoy all the aromas.
