The Prestige Millesimé 2004 is elaborated with our best years of yield and is a blending of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier which come from our oldest plots. The yields are naturally limited and the date of the harvest is an important element to obtain a great aromatic presence and a perfect balance between sugar and acidity which are important for the ageing of the wine.
