Vinification: Made from 100% Premier & Grand Cru Chardonnay grapes grown in Montagne de Reims (Vaudemange, Avenay-Val-d’Or) Côte des Blancs (Cuis, Grauves) and Vallée de la Marne (Bisseuil, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ.) The best Chardonnays are selected to constitute a perpetual reserve which Gardet use each year to bottle this prestigious wine. Fermented in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness, they avoid malolactic fermentation in order to honour their intention of producing a tensed and vibrant champagne. 25% is ageing of the main harvest from the year for around eight months, with 75% reserve wines –Solera.
