"Medium amber gold color. Aromas of toasted bread with butter and spices such as nutmeg shell. Full-bodied, layered and powerful with loads of fresh acidity, spice, mushroom and sous bois. This is on a different planet for Champagne; it's extreme, and it's like a red. A mind-blowing and electrifying wine. Fermented 100% in barrel and from one hectare next to the winery in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. It's a tiny clos. 100% pinot noir and 10 years on lees. 6,750 bottles made."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The northerly region that gives its name to the world's most celebrated sparkling wine, made by secondary fermentation in bottle from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Chalky soils and a cool climate yield wines of finesse and longevity.
The sole appellation for true Champagne, producing sparkling wines of finesse and complexity by traditional method from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
