600 Blanc de Blancs

About this wine

The unique geological and geographical conditions in the hamlet of Penon at 600 m a.s.

l. give occasion to the production of an incomparable sparkling wine with distinctive terroir characteristics. In 2014, the first "600" vintage was produced. The hand-picked Chardonnay grapes stem only from old vines. After bottle fermentation, the sparkling wine matures for 55 months on the lees. In the glass: stable and fine perlage. Fruity nuances of white peach and yellow exotic fruits, some quince, spiced bread and brioche. Creamy and yet taut texture, mineral and salty in the finish.
600 BLANC DE BLANCS: the uncompromising one.
