Les Non-Dits: "Born from the idea of Charles, a friend who left too soon... This cuvée is the bond of friendship between three winegrowers, each of whom brings their most beautiful parcel to the blend: a Chardonnay from the heart of the Côte des Blancs from Guillaume Doyard, a racy Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims Nord from Huré Frères and an elegant and refreshing Meunier from the Coteaux Sud d'Epernay from Jean-Marc Sélèque. This cuvée is produced so that the wine can express its Champagne roots over a longer period of time. The assemblage allows the achieved balance of the terroirs to shine, the wine becomes more important than the winemakers who mould it."
