Isabelle Couvreur represents the third generation of her family of Champagne winegrowers and while her husband, Sombath Prak, is of Cambodian origin, he studied winemaking in Avize. They both helped her father with his 4.29 hectares of vineyards, subdivided into 15 parcels in the 1er Cru village of Rilly La Montage, in Montage de Reims. In 2010, the father allowed them to bottle their first cuvée, Accomplissement.
Made from the 2011 harvest using only Chardonnay grapes from two parcels and in stainless steel with a dosage of 8.8g/l. The wine has a pleasing streak of crispy yellow fruit, between plum and peach, green apple and juicy citrus and distinguished by a bracing and pleasing chalkiness.
