Origin

Produced in the Champagne region of France, the Brut Millésime Grand Cru by Camille Saves is crafted exclusively from grapes sourced from Grand Cru classified vineyards, representing the highest quality terroirs within Champagne.

Variety

This vintage Champagne is typically composed of a blend of classic Champagne grape varieties, predominantly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, sourced from Grand Cru vineyards. The exact grape composition may vary depending on the vintage.

Production

The Brut Millésime Grand Cru undergoes traditional Champagne production methods including:

  • Hand-harvesting of grapes from Grand Cru vineyards.
  • Primary fermentation in stainless steel or oak barrels to preserve freshness and complexity.
  • Blending of selected base wines from a single vintage to create the millésime.
  • Secondary fermentation in bottle (méthode traditionnelle) to develop fine bubbles.
  • Extended aging on lees to enhance texture and depth of flavor.
  • Disgorgement and dosage adjusted to achieve Brut dryness.

  • Palate: Crisp and well-balanced with vibrant acidity, flavors of green apple, lemon zest, and a creamy mousse texture.
  • Finish: Long and refreshing with mineral nuances and a delicate touch of yeast.

Food pairings
