BRUT MILLÉSIME 2012

For us this wine is definitely «the vintage of the decade».

The quality of the harvest prooved that all years finishing by a 2 give excellent wines in Champagne (just like 2002, 1992, 1982, etc.).

This amazing vintage has a special place in our hearts because it’s our daughter’s year of birth. For this reason every label has her profile picture and each label is different (the coloured squares move around).

Made out of 100% wine with no malolactic fermentation in order to keep the freshness over time, with our usual blend of 1/3 Chardonnay & 2/3 Pinot Noir, this is a wine that’s made for aging. It’s already spent 9 years on the lees, but it has an great potential of up to 10 years aging in your cellar.

  • Dosage: 1.6 g/l

  • Conservation:  Can be drunk now, but feel free to keep it for another 5 to 10 years in your cellar.
