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: Tanin
A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
