Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Millésime 2016

“Made of a single grape from a unique year, this 100% Chardonnay is aged and vinified in 205-liter oak barrels, in the finest champagne tradition. The exercise requires a high quality of work and grapes. It offers wine lovers an opportunity to discover the aromas of Chardonnay grown in our terroir. It is said that the aromas of this white grape, rare in Ambonnay, resembles those of a Pinot Noir. This wine is prepared without filtration, instead thru natural cooling, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation process in barrels”
