Pinot Noir (70%) selected in the villages of Ambonnay, Bouzy, Mailly-Champagne
and Verzenay in the Mountain of Reims, with its radiant scents of spices and
red and black fruits, softly interlaces the Chardonnay (30%, from Avize, Oger,
Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Chouilly, in the Côte des Blancs) and its elegant
touches of quince and candied citrus fruits.
