A unique combination of 4 Chardonnay Grands Crus and a small proportion of red wine from an exceptional year.

Freezing cold and then scorching hot, the 2012 wine year was marked by a long winter, followed by a cool spring with little sunshine. After hail and torrential rain that lasted until the end of July, the heat in August miraculously saved the 2012 vintage. The harvest, small in quantity but of a rare and exceptional quality, makes this vintage one of the best of its century.

Exclusive use of the cuvée. Vinification by individual plot in small 20hl stainless steel vats with a small proportion in barrels. Vinification of the Pinot Noir as a red wine in our dedicated vatroom Long aging on the fine lees in small vats with regular bâtonnage (stirring of the lees) for 9 months.

Delicate and full-bodied. B bright hue with coppery tints and fine bubbles. The finesse of the Chardonnay is combined with the structure and power of the Pinot Noir. Toasted notes of spices and vanilla reflect the partial vinification in oak barrels. On opening, the Chardonnay freshness and pear aromas come through. The broadness and lemony lightness on entry create a lovely taut, crisp character, showing us a wine with a lovely verticality. The long finish is underpinned by great complexity and lovely bitters. This wine will pair perfectly with some pink duck breast or venison with a Grand Veneur sauce. Its structure will also complement slightly spicy Asian or Oriental dishes. Recommended serving temperature : 8 and 10°C.
