The Pinot Noir comes from La Barre and contributes structure, depth and a subtle red-fruit character, while the Chardonnay provides freshness, chalky tension and length. The wine was vinified and matured for approximately 11 months in neutral oak barrels, allowing gradual oxygen exposure and textural development without introducing strong new-oak flavors. Full malolactic fermentation further rounds the acidity and contributes to its creamy, vinous character. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1364\" data-end=\"1812\"\u003eAfter bottling, the Champagne spent an exceptional \u003cstrong data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1443\"\u003e12 years aging sur latte\u003c\/strong\u003e before disgorgement.
