NOTES
How better to introduce you to our south facing hillside with our vintage Extra Brut Sélection? A blend modeled on the vine in our village, this wine expresses the uniqueness of our region. The dominant Meunier brings fruitiness with aromas of apple and pear. The grapes are selected on our most clay soils to strengthen the structure of the wine. The low dosage (5.5 g / l) exacerbates the sharpness of the wine and freshness.
