Among the prestigious vintages of Cuvée des Hussards, a selection of 2012 bottles benefited from an exceptional aging process. After eight years in the cellar, they were submerged for a year at a depth of 60 meters, off the coast of the island of Ouessant in Brittany. This marine aging magnifies the blend, composed of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir, by giving it a saline dimension inherited from the sea spray that reinforces its rarity and the finesse of this cuvée.
Shaped by a unique aging process, this exceptional vintage is available in just 800 bottles.
