Fine ageing potential. A traditional minor component of Champagne AOC (one of 7 authorised grapes), preserved by growers attached to historic heritage. Rare native French grape of the Aube, a forgotten Champenois signature.

The word of the wine: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
