2015 was a challenging year in Champagne... After a mild winter without frostand a rainy spring, drought set in from mid-May to mid-August. Nearly 10 weeks passed without water and with a lot of sun (temperatures reached about 35°C).From mid-August, temperatures dropped by 15°C due to rain. The return of dryconditions in the beginning of September ensured a healthy harvest,
without oïdium or powdery mildew.
Aged on lies for 9 years to reach its plenitude, the maturity, complexity and personality of this Cuvée de Réserve are what make it stand out. This Vintage champagne was crafted with grapes from our oldest vines from 4 different crus, including 2 Grand Crus (Cramant et Avize)
Available in bottles (75cl) and magnums (150cl)
