Grape Varietals & Region: This lovely bottle is a blend of 67% Pinot Noir, 23% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Meunier. The grapes come mostly from vineyards that are classified “Grands et Premiers Crus”. Only wines from the 1ère presse (la Cuvée) are incorporated in our assemblage where lthe Pinot Noir (70%) dominates.
Taste Profile: Champagne Virginie T Brut has a pale gold with very fine effervescence. The Pinot Noir shows its power with beautiful aromatics of stewed fruits that brings the right smoothness to the wine. The palate is rich, broad and expressvie, with great structure, elegance and aromas of candided fruits and mineral notes from the Chardonnay.
Winemaking Process: Fermentation in oak barrels, followed by 4 years in bottle. This sparkling has reached enough maturity to fully express its strong aromatic potential.
From buttery brioche to baked apple and toast, this style encapsulates vintage Champagnes and other aged sparkling wines from around the world
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
