A brilliant golden hue with fine, persistent bubbles.
Complex and layered with floral aromas of hawthorn and white flowers, leading into notes of pear, kumquat, verbena, gingerbread, and a hint of mint.

A striking expression of Champagne from a vintage marked by contrasts and challenges. Despite the capricious weather that defined 2016—cold spring frost, heavy rains, and a cool July—the final months of the growing season brought much-needed sunshine and warmth, resulting in a harvest of perfectly ripe grapes. A harmonious blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, this vintage showcases the remarkable character of the year, combining freshness, elegance, and fruit-forward complexity. The wine was aged in the cellars for over five years, which has allowed it to develop into a superbly balanced Champagne with both depth and finesse.
