The only pure Pinot Blanc in our entire collection and likely one of the few producers in Champagne to make a cuvée exclusively from this cépage oublié, or 'forgotten varietal' that is now finding favour with vignerons looking to harness it's freshness for their cuvées. The nose brings forward orange citrus notes yet the palate, somewhat surprisingly, has rich black fruit notes. This is well balanced with a nice fresh and airy mid to late, and a toastiness that is quite charming.
