The wine region of Champagne Grand Cru
Elite of Champagne: 17 villages rated 100% on the cru scale (1919), only 5% of the 319 communes. Exceptional bubbles with signature notes of brioche, toasted hazelnut, honey, candied citrus, russet apple and chalky minerality, a chiselled finish. Cote des Blancs (Avize, Cramant, Mesnil) sublimates taut, saline Chardonnay. Montagne de Reims (Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzenay) magnifies fleshy, deep Pinot Noir.

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.
