All about 2005 harvest
The winter in 2005 was pleasant and classic for the Champagne region with cool and dry weather, but in June things got complicated with an early heat wave. In spite of the strong heat we were able to witness a beautiful flowering, and the vine did not suffer from drought thanks to the rainfall during the summer. The return of the great heat at the beginning of September heightened our hopes with a very healthy and abundant harvest in mid-September. A Vintage which will mark you by its generous aromas, its balanced and ample taste and its creamy foam.
