The ultimate expression of our estate
of "La Montagne"

This vintage champagne, aims to capture the ultimate expression of the Pinot noir from our “La Montagne” estate, concentrated on the original vines purchased by the Champagne House. The Vintage is therefore a testament to an exceptional year, a snapshot of a terroir that has undergone a slow maturation process.

A wine that is concentrated and powerful

Composed of Pinot noir sometimes complemented by Chardonnay, the Vintage cuvée is generally matured on lees for 4 years and left for a minimum of 6 months after dégorgement (disgorging) to attain perfect maturity.

2016 Tasting Notes:
Shimmering golden hue with bright highlights.
Very fine, even and fast-flowing bubbles.
The gently toasted and powdery bouquet discloses a
blend of ripe, sweet, juicy red fruit (Burlat cherry and
redcurrant jam foam), candied, roasted citrus fruit, and
dried nuts (hazelnuts) wrapped in soft roasted notes. After
a short aeration, the wine reveals notes of a more mineral
nature: warm, damp chalk and calcareous millstone heated
by the sun.
The palate is complex, generous and kaleidoscopic. It
commences with a juicy, creamy body in which the ripe
fruit comes through again in the form of nectarine. It is like
biting into the fruit! The creamy, silky bubbles dance lightly
across the palate and tongue, drawing out and lengthening
the creamy substance leaving a rich yet translucent imprint.
We have the impression of completeness created by some
mineral and textured elements, which are underpinned
by spicy, oaky, powdery and almost camphorous notes.
The finish is long, textured, saline and sapid.
