Les Terres Jaunes comes from a Chardonnay plot whose name directly refers to the color of its soil. Here, chalk outcrops under a thin layer of earth and imparts a characteristic mineral tension to the wine.
This cuvée accurately reveals Aurélien Lemaire's style: a full-bodied texture without heaviness, discreet bubbles, notes of citrus, white flowers, and wet stone. The whole retains a beautiful energy and stretches into a saline, precise, and persistent finish.
A terroir champagne that prioritizes balance and depth over showiness.
