Winemaker Notes:  2015, 60% of the harvest came from Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers and Champillon and 40% from Avize and Oiry. Winter and much of spring were wet and mild. This was followed by a period of drought and heatwaves which lasted until mid-August. Alternating periods of wet and cool conditions and hot, dry weather characterised the rest of the growing season. We harvested a perfectly ripe and healthy crop from 10th-30th September. Yields were modest, acidity levels adequate and the quality consistently high making this a truly splendid harvest. We can really feel the essence of Pinot in this blend which is made up of reserve wines from the cuvées N°742 to 735. Aged 89 months on the lees with a cork closure.
