- TASTING NOTE: Le Réserve is a light, fine and harmonious champagne. It is made up of a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier from three different years and sourced from the best sites in the Champagne region.
- ABOUT THE WINE: The vast majority of the grapes used in the vinification process are sourced from a radius of 20 km around Epernay, for a total area of 300 hectares in over 40 crus of the Champagne region. In order to bring out the best of the terroirs and achieve balance in the blends, the House favors Montagne de Reims for its selection of Pinot Noir (28%), Vallée de la Marne for Meunier (43%) and Côte des Blancs, Vitryat and Sézannais for Chardonnay (29%). The current release is an assemblage of 29% base wine from 2020 and 71% reserve wines going back to 2006 - 15 vintages in total. Vinification in stainless steel tanks for freshness and purity and in 400 oak casks of over 15 years old on average, as well as 26 large oak barrels for further complexity and depth.
