A one-off creation born from an atypical growing season. Pinot Noir profiles from different Premier Cru sites in the Montagne de Reims. A Pinot Noir Champagne which is ready to drink but will age for a decade.
Producer Notes:
The 2016 vintage was marked by contrasting climate conditions that went on to shape a unique cuvée. A cold and very wet spring, with higher than average rainfall, gave way to a series of late frosts in April and May, impacting yields. These difficult conditions continued into a gloomy, sunless June, which delayed flowering for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir until the end of the month. But a Champagne Miracle saved the day: from August on, the climate turned on its head, with a hot, dry, and sunny summer providing ideal ripening conditions for the grapes. August and September were characterised by generous sunshine and slightly higher than normal temperatures, allowing the grapes to flourish.
Appearance: Crystal clear, glimmering with flickers of golden light.
On the nose: Delicate floral aromas interlace with scents of hawthorn and acacia, honey in a display of the bouquet’s infinite finesse. Accents of ripe stone fruits and bergamot bring a lively freshness.
On the palate: A silky texture unfolds with ethereal finesse, bringing subtle elegance and perfect balance.The finish is both long and delicate.
