Bottled in October 2018 & disgorged in the spring of 2023, this unique cuvée is produced with 100% Grand Cru fruit from Ambonnay. It shows precision, freshness and elegance with an expressive aromatic palate including bright red fruit, a solid backbone of minerals delivered by the vine roots growing into the solid chalky limestone bedrock for which this village is so famous. The bead is very fine and precise with great lift and nice creaminess.
