This small plot of ungrafted Meunier was planted in 1952, and the vines dig deep (up to three metres) into the chalky subsoil. The low-yielding output results in some of the most powerful wines in the stable. Alexandre uses 228-litre old barrels and allows heightened exposure to oxygen. This promotes the mineral nature of the wine and allows the salty nature of the plot to shine through. The barrels aren't topped up for the first few months of maturation.

It faces south\/southeast and is rich in Thanetian sands, with iron-rich layers above the sandstone base. Alexandre tells us its character translates directly to the wine, making full, structured Chardonnays with a slightly ferrous texture. This Blanc de Blancs matured in 350- and 600-litre casks, with Alexandre choosing coopers that lean towards a tighter grain to ensure a more protective environment for his wines. This, along with regular topping up, low dosage and general precision in the cellar, allows him to preserve purity of expression.

It was raised predominantly in old oak barrels of various sizes, with a small proportion in stainless steel. Reserve wine makes up 50% of the blend.
