Cuvée N° 748
From 728 to 748, 20 years of creating the 700 cuvées.
◊ 2020, 55% of the harvest came from Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers and Champillon and 45% from Avize and Oiry. Winter was mild and very wet whereas spring was particularly sunny and dry. After the stormy June weather, drought set in and these conditions prevailed until the end of September. Beautifully balanced and ripe grapes were harvested early from 26th August until 10th September. Respectful soil management and plant cultivation methods with the aim of expressing plot diversity. Vinifi cation and ageing in large wooden vats on the lees without either fi ltration or fi ning. Our Chardonnay grapes characterise this blend despite the addition of reserve wines from the 747 to 743 and the 741 cuvees.

Cuvée N° 743
Dégorgement tardif
From 733 to 743DT, 10 years of creating the 700 Late Disgorgement cuvées.
◊ 2015, 60% of the harvest came from Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers and Champillon and 40% from Avize and Oiry. Winter and much of spring were wet and mild. This was followed by a period of drought and heatwaves which lasted until mid-August. Alternating periods of wet and cool conditions and hot, dry weather characterised the rest of the growing season. We harvested a perfectly ripe and healthy crop from 10th-30th September. Yields were modest, acidity levels adequate and the quality consistently high making this a truly splendid harvest. We can really feel the essence of Pinot in this blend which is made up of reserve wines from the cuvées N°742 to 735. Aged 89 months on the lees with a cork closure.

2014: Winter was wet and particularly mild. After a hot and dry spring, July and August were cool and very wet. A hot, dry and sunny September saved the vintage.
The balance between alcohol and acidity was excellent and the crop was relatively healthy though some sorting was required upon picking.
