The blend consists of 60% wine from the current vintage and 40% reserve wines, with 15% of the blend vinified as red wine to impart its rosé color. The wine is aged for a minimum of three years in the producer's cellars, followed by six months of bottle aging after disgorging. The grapes are sourced from vines planted on the western slopes of the Montagne de Reims, which benefit from four distinct types of terroir.
