The wine region of Champagne Premier Cru
High-end Champagnes from 44 villages rated 90-99% on the cru scale (1919), between Grand Cru and generic. Fine, elegant sparklers based on Chardonnay (citrus, brioche, chalk), Pinot Noir (red fruits, structure) and Pinot Meunier (fruity roundness). Fine bubbles, controlled dosage, complexity heightened by lees ageing. Villages in the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs and around Épernay.
The wine region of Champagne
World benchmark sparkling wines: fine bubbles, citrusy tension, notes of brioche, toasted almond, white flowers and white-fleshed fruits after ageing on lees. Three grapes blended or solo: fleshy Pinot Noir (38%), fruity Meunier (33%), chiselled Chardonnay (28%). From straight Blanc de Blancs to vinous Blanc de Noirs, from non-vintage Brut to age-worthy Millésimé. AOC since 1927, 34,300 ha on chalk, 17 Grands Crus and 44 Premiers Crus.
The word of the wine: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
