2012

Noble Champagne 2012 is a blend of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims, combining the chalky finesse of Chardonnay with the elegant structure of Pinot Noir. Sourced primarily from selected plots in the Grands Crus, only the finest juices, extracted from the first pressing, are vinified without malolactic fermentation, according to the traditional Champagne method.

70 % Chardonnay

30 % Pinot noir

Including a Grand Cru from the Montagne de Reims: Verzenay

Including Grand Crus from the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Oger,Le Mesnil-sur-Oger

The year 2012

2012 gave birth to one of the greatest Vintages of recent decades. The series of erratic weather events, including a harsh winter marked by severe frosts and a turbulent spring of rain and hail, fortunately gave way to fine weather in August. The beautiful summer sunshine enabled the grapes to reach a rare and exceptional level of ripeness, producing wines of remarkable concentration.

Tasting notes

Eye

Golden hue with green reflections, illuminated by a delicate stream of fine bubbles.

Nose

Precision and elegance intertwine in a complex bouquet of candied citrus fruit, hazelnut and acacia honey.

Palate

Dense and fresh on the palate, where flavours of blood orange and calisson unfold with great precision. The chalk and saline notes add a pure, and chiselled texture, while the dazzling finish reveals a characteristic freshness, the signature of the Vintage.
