The 746 is a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, finished with a very low dosage at less than a gram per litre which lets all the purity of the fruit to come through. For the 2018 harvest in Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers (68%), Avize and Oiry (32%), the previous winter was exceptionally rainy, this was followed by a mild, stormy spring. The weather changed from June onwards, becoming fine and dry, resulting in a particularly early harvest: we started picking on 30 August and finished on 11 September. The vines were in perfect health and the harvest was abundant with an excellent degree of ripeness and moderate acidity. The resulting wines are particularly fine and elegant.

About the region

Champagne

Champagne sits at the northern edge of ripeness in France, which is the point. Cool seasons and deep chalk give grapes with sharp acidity and little weight, raw material that becomes complete only after a second fermentation in the bottle and years on the lees. Chardonnay comes mainly from the Côte des Blancs, Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Bar, and Meunier from the Vallée de la Marne.
