The result of a carefully crafted blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, this Champagne reveals clear aromas of red fruits and citrus on the nose, enriched by delicate buttery notes, a subtle mineral vein and a gentle hint of wood. On the palate, it is pleasantly crisp, finishing with a \u003cstrong\u003esaline\u003c\/strong\u003e and vibrant aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from Damery, in the heart of the Champagne region, from a small vineyard of about 1.5 hectares that ensures a limited and excellent production. The soils, situated at 60 metres above sea level, are characterised by a base of \u003cstrong\u003ewhite chalk\u003c\/strong\u003e covered by a thin layer of clay, a composition that gives the wine a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003emineral tension\u003c\/strong\u003e. The agronomic management is personally overseen by the producer, using the permanent cordon for Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, while the Chablis pruning method is adopted for Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction involves a blend of wines from the latest harvest and reserve wines. The musts ferment in historic \u003cstrong\u003e1937 barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, gaining depth and structure before the secondary fermentation in bottle according to the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ageing on the lees lasts for three years, while the artisanal process includes manual riddling and \u003cstrong\u003edisgorgement à la volée\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a dosage of 5 g\/l. The wine is finally bottled without filtration, preserving its expressive integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the passion of Fabrice Gass in Damery, this exceptional artisanal Champagne is the pure expression of a small vineyard of just 1.5 hectares.

The elegant blend, complemented by reserve wines, matures for three years on the lees before the traditional manual \u003cstrong\u003eà la volée disgorgement\u003c\/strong\u003e.
