BEHIND THE LABEL
The genesis : this new 2020 Blanc de Blancs vintage marks the culmination of three years of organic conversion and tremendous effort. A cuvée that embodies a true sense of pride for our team.
The vision : we refined our practices both in the vineyard and in the cellar to honour our commitment, with the same high standards we apply to every one of our wines. Above all, we ensured that the Mandois signature taste remained untouched. That was our greatest challenge — and today, our greatest source of pride.
The Cellar Master’s comments : the 2020 vintage is our very first certified organic bottling. It brought its share of concerns — and, thankfully, some wonderful surprises. The quality of our juice is now enhanced by the deeper rooting of our vines. The result is a champagne that stays true to our style, while allowing the terroir to shine through with even greater intensity.
