Champagne Cuvee Premiere Brut AOC - Chassenay D Arce
 
«The union of rather imposing Pinot Noir and more subtle Chardonnay gives life to the iconic Cuvée Première, notable for its generosity and finesse. Classic and complex, it brings the characteristic freshness of the terroir of the Arce valley" - Brice Becard. Vinification in the pure tradition of Champagne, in thermoregulated stainless steel vats. Partial blockage of malolactic fermentation. Three years of bottle aging on the lees.
