The maturation time of this cuvée is exceptional, more than 3 times longer than the rules of the Champagne appellation. At the end of this extended ageing period, the champagne is disgorged, then dosed at an extremely low level (3 to 4 grams per liter) to allow the complexity of the aromas to unfold.

This wine has a complex structure, combining vinosity with freshness.

The finish is mineral, marked by a hint of lemon and fine bitters.
