Vincent Charlot is a master of organic and biodynamic viticulture.  This wine is named after the sister of Vincent’s grandmother who was supporting him a lot in his winemaking vision – and Vincent offered her this cuvée as a thank you.

Winemaker: Vincent Charlot & Earl Charlot Tanneux

Farming: Certified organic and biodynamic

Varieties: 100% Chardonnay from 2016 vintage.

Terroir: Clay with a lot of flinty stones in Pierry 1er Cru. 

Vinification: The grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed and gently pressed. The wine ferments spontaneously in neutral barrels. No malolactic fermentation, the wine rests in barrels on fine lees for about 11 months. 

Aging: Bottled with liqueur de tirage and aged on lees for at least 42 months for the secondary fermentation (prise de mousse), disgorged, and topped up using the same wine, with a dosage of 4g/l (extra brut).
