Vintage Factsheets
These old Pinot Noir vines were planted in 1963, on the “Les Monts Fournois” Premier Cru terroir in Ludes. The soil is poor, the chalk almost outcropping. The south-facing exposure is optimal for Pinot Noir maturity.

- Short maceration occurs in vats with daily cap punching and gentle pumping. Indigenous yeasts from the vineyard and cellar handle fermentation. After 2+ years aging on lees in oak, this Red Côteaux Champenois is hand-bottled directly from the barrel.

- 12.5%
With lightly woody notes, the intensity of the fruit is grandiose, and the barrel ageing blends delicacy and elegance. The finesse of Pinots Noir from Montagne de Reims Nord charms us.
