Pinot-Chevauchet - Préciéusé

An equal blend of 50% Pinot Meunier Premier Cru and 50% Chardonnay Premier Cru, a precise and balanced expression of the house's Premier Cru terroir in Moussy and Pierry. Assembled from the 2020 and 2019 harvests, aged five years on lees. The partial malolactic fermentation preserves both freshness and complexity. A jewel, as the house calls it, and one of the most decorated cuvées in the range: two stars in the Hachette Guide 2024 and Gault & Millau 2026.

Tasting notes: Yellow with almond green glints and fine persistent bubbles. On the nose: fresh, subtle and complex, lemon, vanilla and the mineral signature of the terroir. On the palate: sweet and slightly acidic with delicate fresh citrus notes. Premier Cru mineral and elegant finish with fine length.

Food pairing: An elegant aperitif. Also excellent with white meats, lemon-butter fish and crustaceans.
