Le Terroir - Extra-Brut
(Base 2017)

Champagne Grand cru AOC

France - Champagne

Cuvée which combines Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Grand Cru de Verzy classified terroir, on the Montagne de Reims.
The base wines are vinified in stainless steel vats (80%) and in oak barrels (20%), while the reserve wines, which represent 20% of the blend, are aged in casks.

The blend is based on a majority of wines from the 2017 harvest. It is completely made from reserve wines which perpetuate the identity of the estate.
These wines are aged under lees. After 3 years in the cellars of the house, the wines are disgorged and dosed in Extra Brut.

Grape varieties:

50% pinot noir, 50% chardonnay

Tasting Notes:

This wine has a light yellow color with slightly golden reflections. It is a champagne with very nice fine and light bubbles. On the nose, it is very fresh and very airy, with fruity and floral aromas, such as acacia, honey, and crunchy white fruit. On the second nose, more powerful and winey notes emerge. The attack on the palate is very pleasant, it is fresh and lively, but nonetheless smooth and greedy with brioche and toasted aromas punctuated by very fresh citrus aromas such as lemon and grapefruit. It is a very pleasant and balanced champagne, with its freshness and its deliciousness.

Wine style:

Bright and deep sparkling white wine.
