In the old vineyards one came across almost forgotten vines that used to play a role in the production of champagne. In 2003 the decision was made to plant Fromenteau, Arbanne and Petit Meslier together with the classic grape varieties in one plot.
The vineyards lie on loamy and sandy limestone soils, some with flint in the municipality of Chavot-Courcourt. No use of pesticides or other chemical agents.
Manual harvest with optimal ripening of the grapes, spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in at least 10 year old barriques from Burgundy for 6 months with regular stirring of the yeast ('bâtonnage').
No malolactic fermentation
Then the base wines are fed into a Solera system. 40% reserve wines mature here, to which 60% of the current vintage is added every year. Degogged by hand à la volée
