Fresh aroma of green apples and pear. Rich lingering flavor. It shows surprising delicacy for a 60% meunier wine, with a crisp, tight palate and lightly textured finish. A little toastiness adds complexity. Rich in the mouth without being weighty. Flavors will remind you of tart baked apple with pâte brisée pastry crust. A blend of Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, and  from the unique terroirs of Chavot and sourrounding vineyards in the Vallee de la Marne and Cotes de Blancs.This NV cuvee has lovely fruit, great cut and is among the great values in Champagne today.​

The NV Brut Ultradition is similar to the Extra Brut bottling, but with a bit more reserve wines and naturally higher dosage. Interestingly, that mix results in a wine with more tension and brightness than the Extra Brut version. White flowers, mint and orchard fruit are some of the notes that take shape in the glass. Finely sculpted and full of energy, the Ultradition Brut is flat-out delicious. The blend is 60% Meunier, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir, 50% 2016 and 50% reserve wines from 2015 and 2014. Dosage: 6-8 gr/L. Disgorged: March, 2019.
