Presentation
Location
Situated to the east of Tours, between the Loir and Cher rivers, the Touraine vineyards stretch across hillsides overlooking the Loire.
Terroir
The vineyards are located on clay-limestone soils and in the valleys, on gravel and sand soils.
Winemaking
Gentle pneumatic pressing. Settling, followed by controlled fermentation at low temperature (18°C). Produced according to the Traditional Method with a second fermentation in the bottle, while maintaining a carbon dioxide pressure of less than 3 bars to ensure a lovely sparkle.
Ageing
Careful ageing in our tuffeau chalk galleries allows this cuvée, distinguished by its incomparable freshness and fruitiness, to mature beautifully.
A minimum of 12 months' storage on laths before disgorging ensures incomparably fine bubbles
