“The success of a wine begins with obtaining beautiful grapes, picked at perfect maturity.”

STYLE

“We seek to bring out the freshness and finesse of our chalky soils in our wines. You will find the authenticity of our Côte des Blancs terroir and the minerality of our limestone subsoil. Our greatest satisfaction is to offer you the aromatic complexity and elegance of Chardonnay thanks to the careful work of the vineyard.”

VINIFICATION

“We use horizontal presses with a lateral membrane inflated with water, its weight gently weighs on the harvest to gradually extract the juice. Our aim is to induce alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, which is beneficial to the aromatic development of our wines. Around fifty 228-litre Burgundy barrels have been added to our vat room since the early 2000s. They are used for vinification to make the juices from the “Les Belles Voyes” plot, as well as the reserve wines with which we produce our tirage and disgorgement liqueurs.”

HVE

The vineyard is moving towards High Environmental Value certification (label awarded by the Ministry of Agriculture), actions have been concentrated since 2011 around 4 axes:

• The abandonment of weeding and insecticides (50% of the vineyard is plowed and 25% is grassed)
• Preservation of biodiversity (auxiliary flora and fauna – natural predators)
• The reconstitution of hedges to promote an ecosystem beneficial to the harmony of the vineyard
• The ongoing upgrading of buildings and installations makes it possible to separate wastewater and recover rainwater
