Vinification :
Vinification in small oak barrels and half hogsheads. 30 % of reserve wines (aged in oak barrels) enter into the blend. Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Malo-lactic fermentation takes place. Unfined.

Tasting notes
Red fruits on the nose, with some citrus hints. The champagne has a straightforward profile in the mouth, with a small point of salty minerality.
