The winter was mild and rainy, followed by an early bud break in April after a sunny March, facilitated by water accumulation in the groundwater. However, vine growth was disrupted by cold weather throughout its cycle, with flowering around mid-June and rapid grape growth due to strong osmotic pressure from the soil. The summer was cool, with successive rains creating an almost autumnal atmosphere until mid-August, after which the sun graciously contributed to optimal ripeness by mid-September.
The deep soil of Montagne de Reims allows the Chardonnay to express its freshness and minerality. A prolonged ageing on lees brings out the brioche and fruity notes, typical of this grape variety.
