This exceptional cuvée, created in 1964 in tribute to the House’s founder, is the result of a blend of the best terroirs from the Montagne de Reims (Pinot Noir) and the Côte des Blancs vineyards (Chardonnay). Its vinification, partly in traditional oak casks, underpins the generous character of this fine, elegant and rich wine.
The balance of a tension, eveloped by the wine’s fullness (honeyed biscuits and lemon pulp), and symbolised by noble and pastry flavours (pear clafoutis, Bourbon vanilla, and lime leaf). A texture with a strong personality, with its limestone imprint and an incredible intensity, curbed by its fully integrated low dosage. The elegant finish evolves into notes of cigar boxes and sweet spices (cinnamon and white pepper).
