The 2019
growing season

The 2019 growing season was marked by challenging climatic conditions: spring frosts affected the vineyards, and the year was punctuated by drought and heatwaves.

Despite these challenges, the grapes reached good ripeness in a remarkably uniform way across almost all of Champagne. Yields at harvest were moderate, but the quality of the grapes was considered satisfactory. Although less abundant, the 2019 vintage still produced a good output thanks to healthy, fully ripe grapes.

Tasting notes

Appearance Slightly amber-hued yellow colour with fine, lively effervescence.
Nose Refined and concentrated aromas of honeysuckle, red fruits, pear, hazelnut, ripe pineapple, warm butter and sweet almond.
Palate Fresh and supple, fruity and fleshy, with lemon and orange acidity, clay-limestone minerality, precision, structure and indulgent freshness.
