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: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
