Visual
The magic of the terroir, along with age-old skill, results in a sublime golden yellow hue, enhanced by intensey brilliant glints. The elegant effervescence of the finest bubbles is mellowed by the patina of meticulous ageing.
Palate
A full-bodied with subtle exotic notes of honeyed citrus zest (chocolate-coated orange peel, liquorice stick, and cedarwood), on a bed of many-layered flavours (blueberry jelly, apricotin and lemon liqueur). The wine is borne upon a charm at once bewitching and expressive, in which its generosity carries the finish towards a deliciously mineral chalkiness.
Nose
Noble, pedigree expression, intensely sensual with the olfactory impact of great elegant winey complexity (malted cereals, freshly baked pastries, and tangerine flesh). The resonance of a sparkling concentration, showcasing a ripe and intense fruit (roasted coffee beans, toasted bread, vanilla pod and light tobacco)
Winemaking
Originating from a single enclosed, contiguous one-hectare parcel of old vines planted with Pinot Noir in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ in 1964. Vinified entirely in oak casks Ageing on lees: for 162 months Dosage: 2 g/l
This unique Blanc de Noirs cuvée is named after the patron saint of Mareuilsur-Aÿ. This one-hectare Clos satisfies strict standards: a single, enclosed, continuous parcel, with its own complete winemaking facilities on site. The vines, planted and nurtured since 1964, express all the characteristics of the finest crus. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir and vinified in oak barrels, this remarkably typical single-cru wine encapsulates an entire world in a great, profound and singular wine with wonderful ageing potential.
