Derived from venerable vines situated in the heart of Mesnil, facing south, boasting an average age of 40 years, this champagne is truly exceptional. Crafted without malolactic fermentation, it retains the pure Chardonnay typicity and reveals aromatic notes of praline transitioning into subtle woody nuances. The palate experiences a delightful onset featuring citrus fruit tones, particularly grapefruit, enhanced by the distinctive minerality inherent to the Mesnil terroir.
