Details and technical informations about Winery Philippe Fontaine's Tradition Extra Brut Champagne.
Discover the grape variety: Knipperlé
Dry, lively and neutral whites, with a pale golden robe, a taut palate with preserved acidity on undemonstrative citrus and white flower aromas. Discreet and productive rustic profile. Once more widespread, today virtually extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections and a few patrimonial Alsatian parcels, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic heritage of Alsace. Autochthonous Alsatian white variety.

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: Destemming
Action consisting in separating the grapes from the stalk before vinification. The stalk, the woody part of the bunch, may give the wine an unpleasant vegetal character.
