The champagne are fermented and mature in tank. Low dosage (0-3gr/l of sugar) across the range endows this true expression of typical terroir, vivacity, and nerve combined with the unique finesse of chardonnay.
The wines age from 36 to 72 months on the lees before disgorgement. The NV cuvees receive around 20% of reserve wines. Malolactic fermentation is blocked.
