The vineyard spans a breathtaking 1,200 hectares of rich limestone soil, meticulously nurtured to bear top-notch Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grapes.
The winery has remained committed to its traditional methods, while also embracing innovation. To ensure an uninterrupted supply of sparkling wine, regardless of harvest variations, the winery blends wines from various regions in different years, an age-old practice known as assemblage.
