Presentation
Rarity and singularity are the key words here. This cuvée creates a surprise by being a blanc de noirs, made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. This specificity gives it a remarkable texture and fruitiness. This wine is made using the traditional method. The most festive of the Diane wines celebrates with panache all the moments of joy and will delight all lovers of fine bubbles.
The vintage
2023 was marked by a uniform start to vegetation: bud-break dates returned to normal, foliage developed rapidly and the bunches emerged beautifully. Heavy rainfall in the spring tarnished the start of the season somewhat, with mildew appearing in places. There was no hot summer in 2023, but relatively cool nights and warm but not excessively hot days in July and August created ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, which produced remarkable aromatic potential.
Terroir
Clay-limestone and clay-silica soil.
