Reminiscent of the Mixolydien mode, this cuvée is complex, balanced, and marked by a rare silkiness. With the long cellar aging, this makes it a fine, silky and balanced champagne with the interplay of both deep chalky mineral tension and tertiary notes of biscuit combined with savory nuances from cellar aging.
