Fun Facts: The fruit for this bottling comes from a single parcel called Le Murtet (not mentioned on the label) in the Boulards' home village of Cormicy, which lies in the extreme northeast of the Montagne de Reims in a zone known as the Massif de Saint-Thierry. It has been released as a 100% single vintage in some years (ex: 2015).
