It was characterised by a three-cycle weather pattern, with sharp contrasts. After a splendid spring, dry and culminating in a torrid June, a cool and rainy summer followed;<br />September was hot, sunny and very dry. The 'key to the grape harvest' lies in the soils and the work of the winegrowers: chalk is a winner because it is more draining, and in<br />the hills it allowed excess summer water to be disposed of and the vigour to be contained. The work in the plots, with increasingly virtuous practices, allows the grapes to<br />reach balance and full maturity.<br /><br />Characteristics<br />Dosage: 8g/l<br />Grape varieties:<br />100% chardonnay 23% wood-aged wines<br /><br />NO MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION<br />Characteristics of the Cru:<br />Made exclusively from Côte des Blancs grapes.<br />CRU: Avize<br /><br />Tasting notes:<br />Brilliant gold in colour with green reflections, a soft, regular and slow perlage rises in the glass. There are pure, delicate and airy aromas with nuances of delicate flowers<br />(honeysuckle, jasmine), ripe citrus (cedar). With aeration, notes of iodine appear accompanied by warmer, sweeter notes of pastry. The palate is dense, finely spicy and<br />invigorating. The attack is fresh and energetic with citrus (orange), dried fruit and Madagascar vanilla. The bubble gently melts and gives way to a chalky freshness, revealing<br />a finish that is light and dusty at first glance, but surprises with a real final acceleration with fine tannins and spicy tones.<br />
