This outstanding champagne was produced in the cellars of the Abbey of Sain-Nicaise in Reims which date back to the 13th century. The greatest care is taken at every stage of the creation of Comtes de Champagne which is only produced when all the conditions, essential to its unique style, are satisfied: The vintage must be of exceptional quality and worthy of a vintage champagne.
It is made exclusively from white Chardonnay grapes from the most renowned vineyards of the Côte des Blancs. Only the wines from the first pressing (La Cuvée) are used. Finally, 5% of the grapes used in the blend are aged in new oak barrels (a third of which are replaced every year), thus enhancing the intrinsic qualities of the final blend.
Ageing: Minimum 5 years in the cellar before disgorging and six additional months.
