Prism [noun] “A transparent glass or plastic object that separates white light that passes through it into different colours.” Cambridge Dictionary. Never has a name of a wine been truer. 100% Chardonnay. Again from four parcels throughout the Côte des Blancs, as follows:

  • 34% - Cramant – Les Bergieres – 1984 – Moyen – 2001
  • 42% - Chouilly – Les Caures – 1946/1988
  • 24% - Oiry – Les Briquettes – 1969

From plots within the vineyards with particularly pure limestone and chalk, and thin topsoil. Winemaking: Only the cuvée (first 3 presses) is used. Malolactic fermentation is blocked. Seven months on lees in 96% stainless steel (4% is large oak barrels) followed by 44 months on lees in bottle plus 12 months cork ageing in the Guiborat cellar.
