CADENCE EXTRA-BRUT 2017

Icon of the House

Regular, precise, elegant: inspired by the controlled pace of a thoroughbred, Cadence skilfully and creatively tells the story of the prestigious Langlois vintages to epicurean palates in search of gastronomic emotions. A cuvée like a jewel, shaped by over 130 years of expertise.

Nothing is left to chance: the grapes are hand-picked from the best plots in 4 exceptional limestone terroirs, then gently pressed with a ratio of 200 kg per 100 litres of juice, before a careful selection of the most admirable cuvée juices of the vintage. Chenin makes up half of the blend, radiating the finesse of its freshness and fragrance, accompanied by Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay of great refinement. The wine is aged on its lees for 5 years, then matured for 6 months in the cellar after disgorgement to ensure an unrivalled balance of aromas. Finally, the extra-brut dosage of 2 g/l allows the purity of the wine to express itself fully.
