Description
What kind of wine it is
Champagne Loriot Francine Brut Meunier is an elegant expression created from a meticulous blend of Pinot Meunier, complemented by reserve wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In the glass, it displays a straw yellow colour, enlivened by a fine and continuous perlage. The bouquet releases distinct floral aromas enriched by enveloping yeasty notes, typical of production according to the Traditional Method. On the palate, it is round, fresh and harmonious. Its structure makes it perfect to accompany an entire meal, particularly enhancing shellfish, lean fish and cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in France, in the Marne Valley, a prime area for Champagne production. Loriot Francine operates as an independent winemaker, maintaining a strictly artisanal approach. The limited production allows for meticulous care at every stage of vinification. The unique characteristics of the region give the Champagne vibrant freshness and a solid gustatory structure. The respectful approach to the land results in a pure oenological expression, capable of reflecting the authentic identity of the region.
How it is produced
The process faithfully follows the principles of the Traditional Method, involving the refermentation of the blend in the bottle. Once the prise de mousse is complete, a slow ageing on the lees begins, lasting 46 months. This long period is essential to broaden the aromatic spectrum and define the elegance of the perlage. The process concludes with a careful Brut dosage, selected to preserve the harmony of the sip and enhance the natural freshness alongside the structural roundness of the grapes.
History and Curiosities
In the heart of the Marne Valley, the artisanal cellar Loriot Francine produces just 15,000 bottles a year. This Champagne Brut blends traditional methods with modern precision, enhancing a cuvée made up of 80% Meunier, enriched with historic reserve wines and Pinot Noir from a perpetual reserve. The lengthy 46-month maturation on the lees gives the wine an elegant structure, offering a fresh, rounded and balanced sip. A true expression of the dedication of independent winegrowers, this champagne guarantees charm and character in every glass.
