A deep, vinous Champagne with tension and quiet power

Oxidative

Vinous

Intense

Mature

Rich and intense Blanc de Blancs with ripe white fruit, oxidative complexity, and chalky minerality.

Nose: Ripe white fruit, lemon zest, orchard nuances, delicate oxidative notes, hints of toast.
Palate: Finely calibrated acidity gives a buoyant thread of tension beneath broad texture that feels both generous and driven. Chalky minerality and gentle saline hints run through the profile.
Finish: Persistent, offering harmony between ripe fruit depth and incisive freshness.
Serve: Chilled, not ice-cold. Too cold and the mousse stays tight and the perfume shuts down; a few degrees warmer and the wine opens up.

A terroir-driven expression shaped by oxidative barrel ageing and 30 months on lees.

Chardonnay from the l'Arpent Rouge parcel in Vandières, Vallée de la Marne, grown on red clay with sand.

Vines: 100% Chardonnay from a small part of the Arpent Rouge parcel, farmed by an eleventh-generation vigneron and vinified differently each year.
Soils: Red clay with sand, contributing depth and structure.
Farming: Low-intervention viticulture.
Cellar: Gentle pressing, fermentation in barriques with oxidative ageing. Approximately 30 months on lees in bottle before disgorgement in late 2023.
Additions: Brut Nature—no dosage.
