It is made with a selection of grapes from the best vineyards of the estate, which are about 40 years old and are cultivated with lowyields to achieve better aromatic concentration. The Chardonnay comes from the Côte de Sezanne, the Pinot Noir from the Vallée de la Marne and the Meunier from Cuis, south of Épernay. The harvest takes place at full ripeness and the grapes are vinified separately by variety and individual plots. After soft pressing, only the free-run must is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
