The wine combines 50% Pinot Meunier , 30% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay . Vinification is carried out in stainless steel and concrete vats with malolactic fermentation . The dosage is minimal: 2.8 g/L , from a concentrated liqueur (600 g/L), for a clear expression of the terroir. Disgorging carried out in April 2022 .
