The vines sink their roots into an \u003cstrong\u003eupper Kimmeridgian clay-limestone\u003c\/strong\u003e soil, a fundamental geological matrix that gives the wine marked freshness and excellent flavour definition.

The subsequent sparkling process follows the principles of the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a slow secondary fermentation in the bottle that refines the perlage and develops the aromatic profile. The choice to maintain an \u003cstrong\u003eExtra Brut\u003c\/strong\u003e style, with no added sugar dosage, preserves an essential and dry sip, highlighting the pure precision of the fruit. The result is a balanced glass, capable of evolving elegantly in the cellar for over a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaker Nathalie Falmet signs the Champagne AOC Parcella ZH 320 from 2010, a refined \u003cstrong\u003eBlanc de Noirs\u003c\/strong\u003e made exclusively from Pinot Meunier from the Côte des Bar.
