Vinification :  Picked up by hand when fully ripen, traditional press. Alcoholic fermentation in barrels.  Malolactic fermentation not made. Ageing on lees during 18 months. 

Dosage :  Extra-Brut. Disgorgment by hand. Only 3'326 bt. produced (2017).

Tasting Notes (Antonio Galloni) : The Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Les Longues Voyes 1er Cru offers lovely Pinot character in its dried pear and floral notes. Soft and open-knit on the palate, the Longues Voyes is a very immediate and accessible wine.  92 / 100
