In 1972, my grand-father Jean planted the plot « Les Cercets ». My father Jean-françois cultivated it his whole career. And in 2017, I grubbed it up to let grow a young plant.

This Cuvée is the last harvest of Jean Plener’s Cercets. It is a tribute to the cycle of life and vine.

100 % Pinot Noir, harvest 2017, bottling 2018, dosage extra-brut.

2500 bottles only, numbered by hand.

Appearance : pale gold and shiny robe, very fine bubbles, nice thin mousse and persisting effervescence

Nose and palate :  mineral wine, with aromas of peach and toasted bread. On the palate, notes of buttered brioche bring roundness to this straight wine, marked by a precise and fine dosage.

She produces with passion champagnes full of vitality and finesse, like this Cuvée with its delicious aromas of vine peach and toasted bread. This Champagne is lively, well-chiseled with a minerality that calls for lobster and crayfish.”
