Fine, creamy mousse with yellow apple, citrus zest, white nougat and brioche notes; mineral backbone, fresh acidity and a long, precise finish.

Méthode traditionnelle — gentle pressing, primary (and often malolactic) fermentation partly in oak, secondary fermentation in bottle and ~6–7 years on lees.

Vineyard Info
Domaine de la Vougeraie (founded by the Boisset family c.1999) farms biodynamically/organically; this cuvée is made from a tiny Les Cornillots parcel (~0.24 ha).
