A blend of Pinot Noir from Les Rouges Maisons (planted in 1983) and Chardonnay from Les Chemins d’Épernay (planted in 1957), including some muscaté Chardonnay selections, the 2018 Extra-Brut Les Empreintes was disgorged in November 2023 with a dosage of 1.5 grams per liter. It soars from the glass with aromas of pear, orange zest and pastry. Full-bodied and muscular, it displays a rich, demonstrative core of fruit, supported by a spine of tangy acidity, with structuring phenolics that assert themselves on the long, subtly bitter finish.
