Champagne Cuvee Speciale Extra Brut 2008

Description

Extra brut Champagne, 12% ABV, produced by Jean Michel. 0.75 L bottle, 2008 vintage. An explosion of fruit—apple, pear, and yellow peach—melts on a fresh, delicate, and lively palate. From a winery with a history dating back to 1847, this Champagne Cuvée Spéciale is a tribute to tradition and a passion for winemaking. The terroir, with its vineyards drawing riches from the sky and the earth, is cultivated with appropriate methods to offer finesse, elegance, and character. The finish is slightly bitter, reminiscent of fresh walnuts, yet with a subtle sweetness.

From this winery

• Start up year: 1847

Established in 1847, and therefore with more than 160 years of viticultural tradition in Champagne, is this enough to produce a good champagne? Heritage only becomes valuable if it is maintained, enriched, and sublimated before being passed on. The heritage to which we refer is a skilful mix of passion, reason and love.

First there is the soil, this unique place where the vine blossoms, drawing its richness between the sky and the earth. We help the vine grow by using appropriate work methods. Rather shortly trimmed, a carpet of grass in its roots, approved organic farming treatments being used on one section of the vineyard, integrated farming in order to control productivity, encourage a good root system and draw heavily from healthy resources to feed our grapes.

Our vineyard is rich in biodiversity. From old vineyards almost 50 years old, to younger ones, with nine different vintages and the three traditional Champagne grape varieties, we have all of the ingredients to provide our wines with finesse, elegance and character. Read more
