Description
Réserve Perpétuelle takes its name from the eponymous Champagne practice of progressively blending the current year’s wines with wines from previous vintages. The idea is to preserve the freshness of the blend through successive renewals without losing any of the complexity acquired through ageing.

Traditional vinification in vats and wooden barrels, avoiding any premature oxidation. Of the wines from the 2020 harvest, 23% were produced without malolactic fermentation. Aged in casks to instil a sublime depth and patina, our reserve wines are a treasure that the House re-blends and renews each year, incorporating them into the new harvest to make it more complex while preserving its minerality. |
Aging | Aged on lees in the House cellars at a constant temperature of 11°C for a minimum of three years – much longer than the legal minimum of fifteen months. |
