The year 2013 offered a substance rich in freshness, tension and acidity. These elements have given Cuvée Hemera 2013 a profile of precision, detail and lace. On the nose, fresh and candied citrus fruits, lemony notes, a frank minerality, and an almost heady smokiness come through. On opening, subtle notes of toast and dried fruit accompany the nose. On the palate, it is a continuity, with a salivating tension, a frank and straightforward structure, accompanied by a finish sprinkled with tannins that give it a fine length.

James Suckling
A wonderfully expressive nose of sourdough, acacia, citrus peel, apricots and honeycomb. Some pineapple and grapefruit. It’s explosive on the palate, with mouthwatering acidity and so much tension. Tight bubbles. Drives forward with energy. Chardonnay and pinot noir from the six founding crus of the house: Avize, Chouilly, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Mailly-Champagne, Verzenay and Verzy. 3.5g/L dosage. Disgorged June 2023.
