This Chardonnay L' 1st Cru reveals a deep orange hue from extended skin contact. Aromas of dried apricot, orange zest, and candied citrus meet earthy notes of wet stone and herbs from amphora aging. Lees aging adds brioche and almond complexity, while full malolactic fermentation creates a creamy texture. The palate highlights dried fruits, a slight tannic grip, and mineral depth. With fine bubbles enhancing citrus zest and green apple.
This cuvée follows the principle of vinification in amphora with maceration of the grape berries for 10 months, which gives the wine a slightly orange color. It is then made according to the traditional Champagne method (still in experimentation). Full malolactic fermentation Bottled in July (year) without fining or filtration.
