GC-5 Collection

ABOUT THE COLLECTION

A composition of five emblematic crus revealing the architectural precision of Grande Charte. Each bottle embodies a dialogue between chalk and time, restraint and amplitude. GC-5 is defined by its vertical tension, the clarity of its structure meeting the depth of its maturity.

COLLECTION OVERVIEW

Crafted from three cépages and four grands crus, this cuvée is a study in balance: austere in its youth, radiant in its evolution. The 2004 vintage expresses an exacting purity, where minerality takes precedence over ornament, and the effervescence seems to trace the invisible geometry of its terroir.

A champagne for contemplation more than celebration, an encounter with precision itself.
