Grape varieties: Chardonnay
Origin: Champagne, Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France

The grapes come from the south-east-facing Bourron du Levant vineyard site in Cramant. The vines are between around 60 and over 85 years old, with deep roots in calcareous soil. After gentle pressing, the lightly clarified juices are transferred directly into casks and Stockinger foudres. Alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts and malolactic fermentation take place spontaneously. The wine remains on its natural lees for one year, without filtration or fining, then matures for another nine years in bottle. It shows volume, power, saline minerality, candied apricot, ginger, dried flowers, hazelnut and spices, with a very long, precise finish.
