It's named after the eldest daughter of Bernard de Nonancourt, and was kept secret in the cellars until it was revealed as the surprise wedding present at Alexandra's wedding in 1987. It is made in very small quantities and only in the best years (1988 was the second bottling). 80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay from (naturally) the best vineyards. A short maceration period, when the pinot noir and chardonnay grapes are blended together, to extract the colour is followed by between five and ten years ageing.
Known as the 'Ultimate Rose', it is a rare wine; Produced by the process known as 'saignee'. Only 100% rated Pinot Noir is used together with the addition of a small percentage of Chardonnay at the time of crushing.
