Both ample and tangy, this cuvée is eminently suitable for low dosage, extra brut, with only 4.25 g/litre, which is just one-third of the conventional dosage for brut champagne. Aged for eight years. After this time, the freshness is still apparent, but the benefit of aging on lees has reached full potential.
