Produced entirely from their Grand Cru Chardonnay vineyard in the village of Chouilly, one of only seventeen villages given Grand Cru status in the Côte des Blancs. Golden yellow in colour, with very fine bubbles and a delicate foam. Floral nose, full of freshness and rich aromas. Fresh, light, elegant and well balanced on the palate.

Its complexity and elegance make this cuvée an exceptional champagne to be tasted with refined dishes such as foie gras. Long evening meals among friends will be transformed into unforgettable moments.
