Fun facts: The grapes for this wine come from eight different vineyards in Les Riceys. The Pinot Blanc gives the wine a unique creaminess.

Each varietal is vinified separately and go through malolactic fermentation. Aged on its lees in oak barrels. Prior to secondary fermentation, a vintage base wine is blended with a solera of reserve wines. The amount of time sur lattes varies and is cited on the wine's back label.

While usually released as a Brut Nature, the wine can also come as Extra Brut depending on the bottling.
