A

57% Chardonnay/29% Pinot Noir/14% Pinot Meunier.

From six parcels across four villages on a mix of chalk, flint and limestone soils with vines averaging 40 years old. The vines are organically farmed and harvested by hand and the clusters very slowly and gently pressed. The juice ferments spontaneously with native yeasts in Burgundy barrels; the wine does not go through malolactic fermentation. L’Etincelante was bottled in 2003,disgorged in 2018 and received zero dosage.
