This geological formation imparts a clear mineral character to the wine. The blend combines the elegance of \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e from Avize with the structure of Pinot Noir from Aÿ and Ambonnay, offering a territorial expression that merges \u003cstrong\u003efinesse and vinous richness\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with manual harvesting and continues according to the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, incorporating a structured \u003cstrong\u003eportion of reserve wines\u003c\/strong\u003e.
