This special cuvée was made using grapes carefully selected only from Grand Cru and Premier Cru villages at the time the classification of Champagne villages was established in 1911.

It has a gorgeous aroma that is a mixture of white flowers and citrus fruits, hence the name "Fleur de Champagne" (flower of Champagne).
