The whole process of Assemblage was surprisingly quick and seamless to Geoffroy, whose storied history in the realm of Champagne, made it effortless. A resounding confirmation that the principles of Assemblage are universal, whether with the grapes of Champagne or using the three rices of Yamada Nishiki, Omachi, and Gohyakumangoku.
