Where it comes from
The grapes come from the prestigious vineyards of Avize, a commune classified as Grand Cru in the heart of the Champagne region. The terroir is characterised by a chalky soil of limestone origin, a decisive factor that gives the wine a pronounced mineral character. The name of the cuvée evokes precisely this geological component, which imparts a clear and distinctive savouriness to the glass. In this exceptional environment, the Chardonnay expresses a sharp freshness, carefully preserved thanks to the philosophy of the independent winemaker who values the authentic bond between the vine and its land of origin.
How it is produced
Vinification faithfully follows the principles of the Traditional Method, with a slow secondary fermentation in the bottle that ensures an extremely fine mousse. Waris-Larmandier adopts strict biodynamic practices, protecting the environment to obtain healthy and expressive fruit. The choice of Extra Brut dosage allows the aromatic purity to remain intact, guaranteeing a vertical and clean drinking experience. The long ageing on the lees enriches the wine with complex, evolved nuances, enhancing the natural minerality without interference and offering a lingering finish of great elegance.
