Description

Champagne Le Brun de Neuville Le Croisee des Chemins Empreinte Extra Brut

A single vineyard approach to Champagne making.

Grape Varietals & Region: 75% Chardonnay 25% Pinot Noir, from selected plots in the Cote de Sezanne. From southeast vineyards averaging 45 years grown on clay & chalk soils

Taste Profile: A little smoke-and-metal tense, following the mineral-reduction line. Fruit on the back foot, this is a powerful wine defined by acidity and weight and its broad-shouldered confidence. Heavy brushed-silk texture and tiny bubbles. A bold, strong, direct full-frontal finish

Vinification: Slow fermentation in barrels & tanks, with 10 months on lees. This is followed by 48 to 60 months on lees in bottle ageing before disgorgement

Complex & Classic Sparklings

From buttery brioche to baked apple and toast, this style encapsulates vintage Champagnes and other aged sparkling wines from around the world

Methode Champenoise

The key element of the traditional method is secondary fermentation in the bottle, often achieved by adding a liqueur de tirage to the base wine. The end result is a soft, fine bubly mouthfeel
