Vintage 2012 : The year 2012 was characterized by successive climatic incidents. First of all, the winter frost made the vines sensitive, then, the spring frost as well as a dozen episodes of hail caused significant damage in many areas of the vineyard. Finally, a violent thunderstorm accompanied by intense hail broke out on June 7 and destroyed a large area of several communes. Despite these climatic incidents, the dry and sunny summer allowed an exceptional ripening of the grapes.

A white gold color with very fine and persistent bubbles.
On the nose

In the mouth
A lively attack, a very present wine with great finesse that gives way to a beautiful minerality and notes of grapefruit on the finish.

Potential of keeping
Like all wines, champagne can be kept for varying lengths of time, depending on the type. Under optimal storage conditions, champagne can be kept for 1 to 2 years for Brut cuvées, and up to 4/5 years or even longer for vintage and prestige champagnes. Whatever happens, rest assured that you'll never be able to open your champagne too early, as the Champagne Houses only release their cuvées when they have reached perfect ripeness and are ready for immediate consumption.
