This comes from low-yielding vines in the lieu-dit Biaune, a cool parcel planted alongside the forest on Kimmeridgian soil. The chardonnay vines are massal selections from Selosse’s Avize and Dauvissat's Chablis GC vineyards. Oak aged in 4-10yo 500/600ltr barrels before bottling for 'élevage sur lattes',

Notes on the producer

Bertrand Gautherot led the way in biodynamic farming in the Aube region, certified as far back as 1998. An inspiration to the younger generation of local growers, he crafts exceptionally textured, complex and terroir-driven champagnes.

Meticulous viticulture has been practised for more than two decades, yields are tiny, grapes are pressed by an old traditional wooden Coquard press, the wine isn’t pumped or fined and filtered, low SO2 is added at press only, ageing occurs in new to 8yo barrels, and all his champagnes benefit from a couple of years bottle age after being disgorged without dosage.
