Great as an aperitif or served with smoked salmon roulade

Vinification

Following a strict selection at harvest, the blend is composed of 17% Pinot Noir, 66% Chardonnay and 17% Pinot Meunier. Primary fermentation occurs in 2-3 year old 225L oak barrels before being put to bottle 7-8 months after the harvest, to age for at least 10 years in the cellar before disgorgement. As with all wines of Ployez-Jacquemart, dosage is very low at approximately 3 grams per litre. Malolactic fermentation is avoided completely allowing the wine to mature with a very delicate and elegant bouquet with richness and structure crafted in barrel.
