Oeil de perdrix – Degorgement 2022

955 bottles refined in the cellar for thirteen years
in search of the maximum expression of the blend of chardonnay (60%) and pinot noir (40%). Vinification in steel tanks (80%) and barrels (20%). No malolactic fermentation. Although pinot noir has never been one of our most phenomenal wines...this was a revelation.
