Insight

Extra Brut dosage (1-2 g/l). No filtration. Compared to the Substance, the V.O. adds the dimension of multiple terroir: Cramant brings power, Oger gives warmth, Avize provides cutting minerality.
Sommelier's note
“"Brilliant golden yellow with a fine perlage. Green apple, citrus, oriental spices, dried fruit, yeast and brioche bread with a perfectly integrated oxidative note. On the palate it has a marvellous structure — full, imposing, balanced by savouriness and freshness. The complexity of a great still white with bubbles."”
