A chalk-born Grand Cru site of precision and light.

Haut d’Aillerand is a Chardonnay plot in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of Champagne’s most revered Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs.

The village is known for Blanc de Blancs of piercing chalk, saline length, citrus clarity, and long-aging mineral architecture.
