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: Solera
A method of maturing practiced in Andalusia for certain sherries, which aims to continuously blend older and younger wines. It consists of stacking several layers of barrels; those located at ground level (solera) contain the oldest wines, the youngest being stored in the barrels on the upper level. The wine to be bottled is taken from the barrels on the lower level, which is replaced by younger wine from the upper level, and so on.
