Our wines, sprung from the bedrock yet finely chiselled, carry one away with their intense, truly mineral freshness... About the Wine: A blend of the Appellation’s four grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gamay, Aligoté), the wine is congenial, rounded and full, with a varied bouquet. A thirst-quencher, it is our easiest-drinking Crémant, clearcut, clean with a lovely freshness.
