This top of the range wine and vintage surpasses even the highest expectations. Wafting from the glass with scents of crisp orchard fruit. Lemon, warm bread and walnuts, it's full-bodied, deep and multi-dimensional with an immensly layered, concentrated core that cloaks its racy but ripe spine of acidity, abundant but refined structuring dry extract and an incredibly long, precise and sapid finish. It represents the confluence of a great vigneron at the peak of his powers with an exceptional good vintage.

Assemblage of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the best parcels of the Grand Cru location in Ambonnay with south-south-east orientation, loamy limestone soil.

Conventional cultivation, manual harvesting in small boxes of sun-picked grapes, spontaneous and thermoregulated fermentation in stainless steel tanks, ageing in oak barrels, bottling without filtration and fining, bottle fermentation and storage on lees for 169 months. This Millésime was disguised in June 2023. Easy dosage of only 3g/l, extra-brut.
