Let's take a step away from playing checkers and start playing chess with this beautiful expression.100% Pinot Noir grapes, a hard grape to cultivate on the best years, coming together in a spectacular blend of 60% 2015 and 40% 2014. But hold on to your wine glasses, because these grapes aren't just any grapes – they're from the legendary single vineyard, "Les Crayères," in Ambonnay Grand Cru. Planted way back in 1946, these vines have seen it all and are ready to share their epic tale with every sip.

The party starts with indigenous yeast, a crucial fermentation and aging process in barrels, and with a touch of 10% new oak for that extra texture and mouthfeel. But the real showstopper? The wine ages for a mind-blowing 72 months on the lees, reaching a level of sophistication that's practically cosmic. A one-of-a-kind bottle for any and all Blanc de Noirs seekers out there, perfect for a celebration and your cellar.
