Vinification process
Harvested by hand between the end of August and the first ten days of September. Subsequent soft pressing of the grapes, static decantation of the musts, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, then refinement on the lees for over 7 months. Followed by refermentation in the bottle. After the addition of the ‘liqueur de tirage’ and the second fermentation (foaming stage), the sparkling wine rests in the bottle for 36 months on its lees before disgorging. The dosage occurs with a little amount of liqueur d’expedition (Brut).

Organoleptic features
In the glass, the delicate straw yellow colour shines through enhanced by subtle coppered reflections and a fine, creamy perlage.
The fruity, fragrant notes of the Chardonnay are a prelude to the complex and alluring notes, typical of Pinot Noir. On the nose, the first sensations are of Golden Delicious apple and white peach, followed by a warm, silky hint of small ripe fruit. The lengthy refinement on the lees reveals a delicate note of crusty bread.
1673 Millesimato is complex and full-bodied, with an elegant and well-balanced finish, accompanied by a pleasant persistent acidity.
