Great as an aperitif or served with smoked salmon roulade

Vinification

First produced in 2004 to celebrate the House’s 80th anniversary, the Extra-Brut Passion cuvée has become one of the range’s most iconic cuvées. Made from Premier and Grand Cru grapes, the blend is 45% Pinot Noir, 20% Meunier, and 35% Chardonnay. To enhance structure and complexity, 25% of the wine is aged in oak barrels without malolactic fermentation, and the remaining 75% comes from the current harvest. The wine is aged sur pointe for 4-5 years to limit yeast contact, preserving its crispness whilst benefiting from extended ageing. With a low dosage of just 4g/L, it is disgorged as late as possible to retain maximum freshness.
