Our Terroir
Our 18 hectares of vineyard is situated on the southern slopes of the Marne Valley, between Charly-sur-Marne and Chateau-Thierry. The soil is limestone clay on the upper and middle slopes, and becomes silty and light on the bottom of the hillside. The oldest vines are almost 50 years old !
Vinification
The Harvest is done completely by hand after the fruit reaches an optimum maturity, followed rapidly by gentle incremental pressing and settling of the juice for a minimum of 12hrs. Finally, after careful siphoning of the clear juices and alcoholic fermentation in thermo-controlled Stainless Steel Vats, we end this process with Malolactic fermentation.

Tasting
A blond gold yellow tint surrounds the fine bubbles which rise slowly. The nose expresses itself with opulence, with mixed notes of ripe yellow fruits (mirabelle plum, fresh quince) and fruit in syrup. The palate is almost suave, with a nice persistence, supported by a light freshness that accompanies a warm finish.

Moment(s) for savouring Aperitif wine for important events or anytime during the day.
