Description
The sum of infinite degrees of care
This vintage is the embodiment of all our traditional method know-how. Since its inception in 2015, we have always used the best grapes from the best allotments for L’intégrale to which we bestow our greatest duty of care. Our quest for excellence led us to purchase our first cask in 2019, to improve this wine’s mid-palate. It is of such a caliber that it can now easily be compared to the crémants of Northern France. In calculus, intégrale means “an infinite sum of functions”. For us, L’intégrale is the sum of infinite degrees of care and it is unquestionably the most polished wine we produce.
Tasting & pairings
A perfect sparkling wine to accompany your meal, L’intégrale is elegant and versatile. Mineral hints make it an excellent companion to seafood like spaghetti alle vongole, but also roasted root vegetables, a miso ramen or a tuna tataki with soy sauce.

Notes from the winemaker
Exceptional growing conditions in 2021 and the absence of fall frost have allowed grapes to reach a maturity level never before attained, not even in 2012. The challenge of this vintage was in the winery, finding the means to capture and concentrate the energy accumulated in the field.
When they are brought in from the fields, the grapes are directly pressed. Cold fermentation, on indigenous yeast and in stainless steel vats, preserve the wine’s freshness and fruity aroma. The forming of bubbles during the second fermentation takes place using neutral yeast from a Champagne biodynamic vineyard and organic beet sugar. L’intégrale then matures on lees for a minimum of 30 months and is subjected to neither fining nor filtering.
