A Testament to an Exceptional Vintage: The year 2013 was marked by a challenging yet rewarding growing season. A colder-than-average winter with snowfall and freezing temperatures led into a wet spring, delaying flowering until July. However, an exceptionally warm and sunny summer allowed the vines to recuperate, culminating in a late harvest beginning on October 1st. The Chardonnay grapes achieved remarkable maturity, combining notes of white flowers, citrus, and hints of tropical fruits, resulting in a wine that is powerful, structured, and well-rounded with excellent length. Meticulous Craftsmanship: - Grape Varieties: 100% Chardonnay - Lees Ageing: 9 years - Dosage: 9 g/l The Comtes de Champagne is created using juice from the first press only, ensuring the purest expression of the Chardonnay grapes.
