Wine:
A blend of more than 20 different years, made exclusively from Côte des Blancs Chardonnays, the Grand Cru Champagne Cuvée de Réserve Version Extra-Aging Blanc de Blancs is an admirable wine, confounding in its pleasure and precision. The delicate floral nose, with hints of almond and fresh bread, opens the tasting with eloquence, followed by a structure combining delicate roundness, with an elegant, fresh finish. A great champagne for the aperitif as well as the table.Vinification:
Hand harvested. Blend of over 20 different years, composed exclusively of Chardonnays from several Côte des Blancs villages. Temperature-controlled fermentation in small stainless steel vats. Aged on fine lees. Bottled and stored in cellars for a second fermentation and slow maturation. Disgorging, addition of a small amount of dosage liqueur and corking. Dosage of 6 to 7 g/l.This cuvée de Réserve "Extra-Aging" is aged 2 years longer on lees than the cuvée de Réserve before disgorgement.
