Tai laisvės troškimas, dar daugiau pakelti derliaus derinių kokybę, kuris paskatino imtis naujų veiksmų ir sukurti kolekciją, vertą Brut Premier įpėdinę. Šiuo požiūriu naujasis cuve iš tikrųjų yra paslėptas vintage šampanas. 244 -asis pagamintas iš 36% réserve perpetuelle: kuriame yra 2012-2018 metų, 54% geriausių 2019 derliaus vynų ir 10% ąžuole brandintų rezervinių vynų (2012-2018 metų)Réserve perpetuelle suteikia šampanui daugiau platumo, gylio, jo tekstūra yra mėsingesnė ir sudėtingesnė, jaunasis derlius suteikia gaivos, šviežumo ir grakštumo.
Aromatų puokštė yra atvira, ryški, bet kartu ir nuostabiai šviežia. Juntami nokių vaisių aromatai - kaukazines slyvaites, kylančias iš 'Pinot Noir', papildo citrinų ir morengo, jazminų natos, dovanojamos 'Chardonnay'. Aromatams skleidžiantis, imame jaustis autolitines natas - skrudinti riešutai, šviežiai keptos bandelės, subtilus dūmiškumas. Burnoje šampanas yra gilus, tirštas, puikios struktūros, ilgo minerališko, švelniai sūraus, vos maloniai karstelėjusio poskonio.
