This cuvee was elaborated from 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir coming from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards older than 40 years old. 2012 is regarded as the vintage of reference of the last decade. Tasting notes: Very versatile, with notes of citrus and balanced acidity, it will be perfect from the aperitif to the dessert.

97/100 - Decanter World Wine Awards

96+/100 - Bordeaux Index 

Trophy Winner & Gold Medal, Classic & Elegant category - Glass of Bubbly: "Pale and lively. Straight up the nose. Quite different from the wines so far. More lively and tense but good undertow. Fruit not oak expressed here. Racy with depth and undertow. Vibrant "

 17/20 Jancis Robinson :"Pale yellow colour with slightly greenish hue. Delightful nose reminiscent of lemon zest, green figs, greengage, Nashi pear, starfruit and a discreet hint of iodine marine air. On the palate well structured with crisp acidity, lively and fine mousseux, exquisite fruit flavour on the restrained side, distinct minerality. An excellent wine with depth and salivary character."
