From Jouy-lès-Reims 1er Cru and Villedommange 1er Cru. In this NV blend, 50% consists of their perpetual reserve dating back to 1998, while the remainder is from a single harvest. A portion of the Chardonnay is aged in used barrique, while the remainder is aged in steel. This cuvee spends 24+ months on lees before disgorgement.
On the previous dirgorgement:
"The NV Brut is gracious, elegant and so charming, as these Champagnes are. Gentle hints of orchard fruit, spice, dried flowers and mint are nicely lifted in this ethereal entry-level offering. Disgorged: May, 2021."

"A smooth, gently round and nicely balanced Champagne dominant in pinot meunier, pinot noir and chardonnay to boot. It has attractive lemon citrus flavors and is really punchy, refined and gently nutty. A smooth, pastry-like texture comes to the fore on the finish. Drink now."
