The wine undergoes extended aging, with the Brut Millésime style typically aged for over 4-5 years, and potentially up to 72 months, in the estate's cellars. This aging process contributes to its texture and complexity. The dosage for this Brut Millésime is 8 g/L. The estate manages all aspects of production, from vineyard work and pressing to vinification and champagnization, reflecting their commitment to quality control and the expression of their Premier Cru terroir.
