Elaborated on the best vintages, this wine is a tribute to our elder Jules Bonnet, and his work as a winemaker.

Our best Pinots noirs from Chamery and Verzenay  are selected for a vinification “the old way”, in small oak casks and with no uses of selected yeast.

After the fermentation, the wine is grown 9 months in barrels with few stiring of the lees before being bottled unfiltered.

A champagne for connoisseur, with a vibrant and strong personality. Its structure and aromatique depth call for refined cuisine.
