Where it comes from
This Blanc de Blancs is produced in France, in the heart of the renowned Côte des Blancs. The Chardonnay comes from the vineyards of the commune of Oger, classified as Grand Cru.

The adoption of organic and sustainable farming respects the integrity of the environment, giving the sip a balanced and profound gustatory tension.

Afterwards, the wine follows the Traditional Method protocol with a prolonged ageing in the cellar for eight years in contact with the lees, acquiring remarkable aromatic complexity and a fine texture. The measured sugar dosage defines the Extra Brut style, enhancing the dry and crisp structure of the cuvée. The care given to every stage of vinification ensures this wine has excellent longevity, encouraging a fascinating evolution over time.
