Our Champagnes　

Millésime 2016

"CORNUCOPIA"

 Year 2016 in our vineyards: With memories of a complicated start to the growing season in the vines, a few light frosts at the end of April, wet and chilly conditions in May and June, with the constant threat of mildew throughout the formation of the bunches of grapes at the beginning of the summer. After the 14th of July, the sun finally appeared on the hillsides and stayed with us right through to October. The onset of ripening of the grapes took place under optimum conditions. On the 15th of September, with a team of forty or so pickers, the first bunches were cut in good spirits and under a radiant blue sky.

Blending: made from the 3 traditional champagne grapes which give this wine all its character
