Sourced exclusively from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, grown on clay-rich chalk soils, the NV Premier Cru Solera is composed of equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and incorporates vintages dating back to 1997, with 30% of the blend from the 2019 harvest. It opens with aromas of orange zest, pear, fennel seeds, warm brioche and a hint of Timut pepper. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, bright and seamless, exhibiting striking complexity. Ample chalky extract and tangy acidity underscore its structure, while the mousse remains persistent. After drawing off 30% for this bottling in 2021, the reserve was then, as ever, refreshed with wine from the new vintage, which underwent its first year of maturation in small oak barrels—ensuring the foudre remains full ahead of the next tirage. As Fabrice explains, refreshing with 30% is sufficient to guard against oxidation, whereas 50% could overly dilute the solera’s complexity. This cuvée was disgorged in December 2024 with a dosage of three grams per liter.
