The vines were planted in 1935 by Nicolas’ grandfather, who may have been the first to plant Chardonnay in this bastion of Pinot Noir. Tasting this Champagne will provide a lesson in terroir not soon forgotten. There is an Aÿ aroma that actually overcomes the Chardonnay aroma. Fruit runs to quince rather than Chardonnay-apple.
