This highly polished multi-vintage cuvée draws structural distinction from its unique terroir, blending premium Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bar with elegant Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. Crafted with a substantial portion of reserve wines aged in large oak casks and matured on its lees for a minimum of five years, it presents a bright, mid-yellow hue accented by a persistent, fine-beaded mousse.

The aromatics reveal a beautifully evolved profile where underlying notes of fresh citrus and stone fruits seamlessly intertwine with rich layers of marzipan, white blossoms, and artisanal pastry.

On the palate, the wine delivers an ample, round, and remarkably full texture that carries excellent fruit concentration and power without sacrificing balance. A vibrant line of acidity drives the dry, focused finish, keeping the entire experience trim, taut, and immensely refreshing. The Decanter World Wine Awards panel underscores this profound depth and structural precision, lauding the release as "an outstanding champagne with a marzipan, floral, citrus, pear and stone fruit perfume." and "Good balance, length and complexity."
