A box imagined by our winemakers to enjoy a unique experience.

The Against Winds & Tides box by André Chemin is ideal for understanding the influence of the external environment on the aging of champagne.

The gift box contains 2 bottles that are nevertheless similar, two 2012 Premier Cru vintages.

The first matured on lees for 10 years before disgorgement, then benefited from an additional year and a half of aging in the estate’s cellars to give it its unique character.
The second benefited from the same duration of lees aging in the cellar before being transported near the island of Ouessant, in Brittany. There, it was immersed at a depth of 60 meters and placed on the seabed to age for more than a year. Deprived of natural light and exposed to the constant temperature of the Bay of Stiff, the champagne developed a unique freshness.
Only the aging environment changes. The result is a considerable difference, giving the Sea bottle an unexpected freshness and minerality.

This 2012 vintage was blended on a base of 1/3 Chardonnay and 2/3 Pinot Noir exclusively from the family’s Premier Cru vineyards.
In terms of dosage, this Extra Brut champagne has a concentration of 3g/l, allowing it to fully express the aromas developed during an exceptional year.

Designed for great enthusiasts looking for unique experiences!

This gift box contains 2 bottles of 75cl vintage 2012 champagne along with their wooden case.
