2008 : a Champenois summer with low temperatures and limited sunshine produced an exceptional vintage. The wines are complex with a fine structure, very high-quality Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs revealing exceptional aromatic richness.
2007 : an almost summer-like spring, tempered by a mixed summer, produced straightforward wines with great freshness that will age well over time, with Chardonnays showing complex aromas of white fruits and citrus, and Pinot Noirs with aromas of yellow fruits.
2006 : a hot July followed by a cool, humid August brings finesse and elegance to the wines. The Chardonnays reveal notes of white fruits, citrus and white flowers, while the Pinot Noirs show notes of red fruits and cherry.
