VINTAGE BRUT 2018

quintessence of time

YEAR AFTER EXCEPTIONAL YEAR, THE VINTAGE CUVÉE REVEALS THE UNIQUE CHARACTER OF ITS HARVEST MARKED BY THE INIMITABLE LANGLOIS STYLE.

From vine to bottle, our demanding craft seeks to strike the perfect balance between the unique characteristics of the Maison’s four distinct, limestone-rich terroirs, while taking into consideration the profile each vintage. Representing over 60% of the blend, the elegant and fresh Chenin Blanc is invigorated by the structure of the Chardonnay and the vinosity of the Cabernet Franc. A minimum of 36 months ageing on lees brings out the full character of the wine, adding warm evolving notes. The cuvée is completed with a moderate dosage of 8 g/l.
