The wine region of Champagne Grand Cru 'Ambonnay'
Emblematic Grand Cru village of the Grande Montagne de Reims (387 ha, 81% Pinot Noir): Pinot Noir is the Champagne signature red king — powerful, rich and deep signature profile with intense notes of ripe red fruit (cherry, raspberry), crunchy apple, a toasty touch, full, textured wine-like structure and length, finesse completing the strength. Full south-facing slope, Cretaceous chalk bringing structure and elegance, historic cradle of red and saignée rosé Coteaux Champenois.
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: Thinning
Also known as green harvesting, the practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining bunches often gain weight.
