They say that "geniuses are born in suffering." The Chardonnay grape variety is ingenious but rare in Ay, yet it was planted in a chalky area with a southern exposure! Cultivating the Chardonnay grape variety in the home and soil of Pinot Noir is challenging and special, but this is precisely what contributes to the wine's brilliance. Putting clichés aside, the chalky soil is so discreet that we sometimes forget about it, but it is so present that it gives strength and life. Blanc de Craie bears the classic purity of Blanc de Blancs, but suggests a unique concentration thanks to the Ay area. It is a drink for true Champagne enthusiasts who appreciate light, vibrant clarity, and creative inspiration.
