A vintage where we select the chardonnays that compose it for their fruity, their sweetness, their airy greed, to which we add a very controlled proportions of Pinot Noir vinified in red, to come sublimate the character of the Chardonnays. This cuvée is greedy, fruity with a lot of sweetness, to offer you a different vision of the wines of the house. It is a wine that allows a lot of originality in cooking and that we work with a generous dosage but without excess. Only Celerier's Cellar sells this wine in the USA.

Recoltant-Manipulant (RM), can only produce Champagne with fruit sourced from their vineyard. Winter pruning in November after previous harvest entirely done by hand. Fixing the branch on iron wire for the Winter resting time. When plant is active again, disbudding for better aeration and better quality yield. Sexual confusion: pheromone are released, preventing insects to mate, it averts the need of insecticide product (organic method). Once vegetation is grown, stripping the leaf on one side exposed to the rising sun to reduce and cancel the use of synthetic product (natural aeration optimized). 3 weeks prior harvest, tests with samples to get sugar/acidity/aromas content of each parcels to define the course of harvests on each parcels. Harvest are fully done by hand as per Champagne tradition.Winter pruning in November after previous harvest entirely done by hand. Fixing the banch on iron wire for the Winter resting time.

Blend of 2016, 2017 and 2018 vintage. 2016 had a rainy winter, some frost mid April followed by a fresh summer, a overall great vintage with easy harvest. 2017, dry winter (doesn't replenish the plant), warm spring with almost no frost, a rainy hot summer (conditions for diseases), early harvest because needed to prevent mold and rots, a complicated vintage for the yield, yet very good quality.
