Description
What kind of wine is it
Champagne Le Cepage Grand Cru Pinot Noir Assemblage Extra Brut is a Blanc de Noirs crafted by Adrien Renoir. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes using the Traditional Method, it appears in the glass with a straw yellow colour and a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers well-defined floral aromas, enriched by delicate toasted notes. The Extra Brut dosage shapes a dry, fresh palate characterised by pronounced minerality. Served well chilled, it is the ideal pairing for shellfish and lean fish, refined starters, and soft cheeses.
Where does it come from
This Champagne originates from Verzy, a renowned Grand Cru village celebrated for the excellence of its Pinot Noir. The unique soil composition imparts a distinct mineral character and a strong sense of place to the wines. Vineyard management is overseen by Adrien Renoir, who works with the utmost respect for the ecosystem through an agricultural approach that integrates organic and sustainable practices, supported by the use of biodynamic preparations. This production philosophy preserves the vitality of the land, allowing the grapes to express the authentic soul of the terroir.
How is it produced
Production follows the strict steps of the Traditional Method, starting with meticulous manual harvesting. In the winery, vinification aims to enhance the natural structure of the Pinot Noir. The process involves a slow fermentation on the lees, followed by malolactic fermentation to ensure balance and harmony. The choice of Extra Brut dosage keeps the sip dry and taut, offering a remarkably clean drink. The result is a Champagne of great precision, capable of splendid cellar evolution over five to ten years.
History and Curiosities
Born in Verzy from the passion of the young Adrien Renoir, this Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru expresses the absolute purity of Pinot Noir. The production follows the traditional method, starting with meticulous manual harvesting and continuing with fermentation on the lees, enriched by biodynamic practices. On the palate, it is mineral and balanced, enhanced by refined floral aromas and alluring toasted notes. An Extra Brut masterpiece with a fine perlage, destined to evolve elegantly in the cellar for up to ten years.
