With its excellent quality and generosity, this vintage champagne marks the history of the Loriot-Pagel Champagne House. The 2006 harvest was bountiful, producing perfect grapes with an ample aromatic palette and superb ageing potential. 2014 was a natural choice to experiment with vinification in oak barrels, a traditional process carried out with our modern techniques. The Cuvée N°6 raises its hat to 6 generations of Loriot.
