Seeking complexity and balance guides us in crafting our Cuvee Extra Brut. The unique personality of the vintage 2015 wines has been enhanced by long aging in cellars, allowing us to reduce the added sugar that disappears behind the wine.

What’s In It: 100% Chardonnay, mostly from Avize (some Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger)

How It Was Made:

Slow, complete fermentations in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats bring out the full aromatic potential of the grapes. This is followed by 5 years of prolonged aging on the lees in the cellar and, after disgorgement, a dosage of 2.5 g/L. All the wines go through malolactic fermentation, and apart from the barrel-aged Belles Voyes cuvée, all are made in stainless steel.
