The wine region of Champagne Grand Cru 'Verzenay'
Grand Cru of the Montagne de Reims classified 100% (north-north-east exposure, draining chalk outcrop): signature Pinot Noir as red king (~80% of vineyard) — vertical, straight and structured signature profile with intense red fruit and citrus aromas, subtly iodine finish and mineral touch, preserved freshness and tension. Refined Blancs de Noirs, pure Champenois Pinot Noir identity. Draining slopes, mosaic of chalk, limestone, sand and clay.
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: VDQS
Delimited wine of superior quality. A level of appellation (today, barely 1% of French production) which constitutes the ultimate step before the accession to the AOC.
