Lassaigne uses the younger vines of Le Cotet for this cuvée as the older vines go into the single vineyard Champagne Le Cotet. Soil Heavy clay and chalk Viticulture All his parcels are farmed organically with extra emphasis placed on picking at optimum ripeness. Simple Guyot pruning is employed. Lassaigne adds sulfur at harvest in order to keep the fruit from oxidizing. Vinification The grapes are harvested by hand at maximum ripeness. Destemmed and lightly pressed, the chardonnay undergoes complete malolactic fermentation. Lassaigne vinifies all parcels separately. The domaine has been disgorging without sulfur for 32 years. Aging Aged 5 years sur lattes before disgorgement with no dosage. Notes As an accompaniment to the fine dining experience, for an aperitif or sipping with food, a vintage Blanc de Blancs Champagne, with no sugar added during disgorging. Fresh and lingering on the palate, with hints of honey and gingerbread – an authentic wine. Back to Current Releases
