Origin
The Cuvee Millesime Brut Grand Cru is produced in the Champagne region of France, renowned worldwide for its prestigious sparkling wines. The Grand Cru designation indicates grapes sourced from the highest-rated vineyards within Champagne.
Variety
This vintage Champagne is typically crafted from a blend of classic Champagne grape varieties, predominantly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards.
Production
The Cuvee Millesime Brut Grand Cru undergoes traditional Champagne production methods, including:
- Hand-harvesting of grapes from Grand Cru vineyards.
- Primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks or oak barrels to preserve freshness and complexity.
- Blending of selected base wines from a single vintage (millesime).
- Secondary fermentation in bottle (méthode traditionnelle) to develop fine bubbles.
- Extended aging on lees to enhance texture and develop aromatic complexity.
- Disgorgement and dosage adjusted to achieve Brut dryness.
