A 100% Chardonnay, sourced 50% in the village of Aÿ and the rest from Louvois, the NV Blanc de Craie Brut offers up aromas of mirabelle, anise, licorice, herbs and ripe orchard fruits. Medium to full-bodied, vinous and textural, it's perfectly balanced, with a round, supple mid-palate that segues into a saline, long and ethereal finish. Based on the 2021 vintage complemented with 40% perpetual reserve, it was bottled in 2022 and disgorged in December 2023 with a dosage of six grams per liter.
