Still… yet bold.
This Hors-Série edition reveals an unexpected facet of the Champagne terroir: two still wines, shaped by the force of a single grape variety, Pinot Noir, and expressed through two Grand Crus with strong identities, Aÿ and Ambonnay. Two interpretations, two temperaments, one shared uniqueness: that of a Pinot Noir expressed with intensity, precision, and elegance.

Tasting notes
Aÿ 2022
The nose opens with mineral notes intertwined with alternating aromas of pear, honeysuckle, fresh almond, mandarin, and acacia honey. After aerating, mineral notes of chalk and a hint of mirabelle plum appear.
On the palate, the minerality rises, fine and precise. The finish ignites with notes of citrus, ginger, and pomelo zest, blending elegant bitterness with an iodised, deliciously salty length. Aromas

Ambonnay 2022
Its expressive bouquet first unveils orchard fruits, white peach, damson plum, black cherry, before drifting toward dried apricot and violet, extending into spicy accents.
On the palate, it unfolds a sun-filled texture rich in yellow fruits, mango, and candied citrus, lifted by a warm, indulgent brioche character.
The finish weaves together saline freshness with the warmth of limoncello, offering an almost opulent presence and remarkable intensity.Aromas

The Blend
Two Blancs de Noirs, crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir and vinified as white wines. They challenge the traditional codes of Coteaux Champenois, typically white from white grapes or red from black grapes.
Sourced from Aÿ and Ambonnay, two emblematic and complementary terroirs, each reveals a unique expression of the grape variety: mineral, airy, and elegant on one side; indulgent, generous, and fruit-driven on the other.
