Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Sparkling, intense and brilliant golden yellow with a fine, broadly dispersed mousse.
Nose
An immensely complex interplay of aromas: Aromatic notes of ripe apple, vineyard peach and pear compote meet warm brioche, toasted almonds and wild herbs such as sage, chamomile and linden blossom. A cool, austere minerality keeps the ripe fruit perfectly in balance.
Palate
On the palate, it reveals an uncompromisingly dry, gripping texture. The effervescent mousse is immensely stimulating, whilst the taut acid structure without any dosage ensures a crystal-clear, fearless purity. Terroir-driven, deep and of floating elegance.
Terroir & Origin
The grapes come from the single vineyard Les Sables in Œuilly. The purely quartz sand soil there prevented the spread of phylloxera, which is why the wine was harvested from ungrafted, native-root Chardonnay vines.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Single-varietal Chardonnay. Following gentle gravity pressing, the base wine underwent spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts in Burgundian oak barrels. The wine aged for six months on the fine lees without malolactic fermentation, fining or filtration. After bottling in May 2007, this rarity spent a full 17 years on the lees prior to disgorgement in June 2024.
Food Pairings
Ideal with purist dishes featuring earthy or mineral components, such as raw char, canapés with truffle or steamed turbot.
Special Features
An absolute rarity with a production of just 1,300 bottles: Crafted from ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines and bottled completely without added sugar after 17 years of lees ageing.
