Tasting notes
Pale gold with shimmering highlights. Aromas of brioche, toasted almond, ripe orchard fruit, lemon zest, and subtle spice lead into a palate that is powerful yet refined. Expect layers of citrus, baked apple, roasted hazelnut, and saline minerality, supported by a creamy mousse and long, precise finish.
Blend & style
Vintage Champagne (produced only in exceptional years)
A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with Pinot-dominant structure
Aged extensively on lees for depth and texture
Signature house richness balanced by freshness and tension
