Tasting Notes: A white wine with a slightly tiled colour, this Auxerrois seduces with its powerful and rich nose, which evokes small yellow fruits and hazelnut. The palate is quite round, both fat and lively, with a finish of popcorn and grape aromas.

Funkyness: Mild

Tasting Notes: Pale ruby red, with reflections between pink and orange. The nose offers a pleasant fruity bouquet, among which emerge notes of ripe cherry, rose petals, flowers and orange peel, spices, mushrooms and wet stone. On the palate, all elements are in proportion, with a linear, fruity sip and calibrated acidity.

Tasting Notes: This skin-fermented Pinot Gris is pretty darn brilliant stuff. Juicy, fresh, spicy, with a bit of bite and drinkability beyond compare. It's reminiscent of currants, rose hips, juniper and blood oranges.

Funkyness: Mild

Tasting Notes: Rather long maceration which gives the wine a rather onion skin colour. The nose as well as the mouth are marked by notes of fresh and cooked fruits. Important mouthfeel: round, tannic. But the finish does not allow us to fall asleep because it is invigorating: superb acidity. Dense and lingering finish with bitter orange, ginger and a return of freshness.

Tasting Notes: The dress is golden, brilliant. The nose is expressive, on white fruits roasted with butter, marzipan and spices. The palate is quite fascinating, as much by its dynamics as its texture: it goes (very) straight, without resorting to acidity. The famous "invisible thread" is at work. And at the same time, one gets acquainted with a very soft matter, with a soft touch, in a very Meyer style airy spirit. The whole thing is dazzlingly fresh, overwhelming, even. The finish is just as fresh, finely chewed, with the return of white fruits roasted in butter, embellished with spices that linger for a long time.

Tasting Notes: The nose is buttery, lemony, fine and elegant. The mouth is tonic, full of energy, tense, very dynamic. A fine bubbled crémant that can be served as an aperitif but also with oysters, seafood, raw or grilled fish.

Tasting Notes: Even more depth and finesse than the "classic" Pinot; a must! A cuvée that is particularly appreciated after two years of bottle age in our cellar ... But which is already proving to be very good right now!
