Description
What kind of wine it is
Sagacité Brut is the Brut Champagne by Alain Mercier, characterised by a straw yellow colour and a lively perlage. On the nose, it releases pleasant aromas of citrus and bread crust. On the palate, it is harmonious and bold, combining an elegant structure with notes of apple and pear that provide a pleasant and persistent final freshness.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced in Épernay, in the heart of the renowned Champagne region in France. The area gives the grapes a distinctive character, allowing for the creation of a well-balanced blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. This meticulous viticultural care ensures a harmonious glass, perfect for elegantly accompanying fish dishes, shellfish and refined starters.
How it is produced
The winemaking process faithfully follows the Traditional Method, with the base fermentation carried out in enamelled tanks to preserve the varietal fragrance. The subsequent secondary fermentation takes place in glass, followed by maturation in the bottle for three and a half years. This meticulous ageing on the lees gives the wine complexity, perfectly balancing liveliness and smoothness.
History and Curiosities
The Champagne Sagacité Brut from the family-run winery Alain Mercier et Fils in Épernay represents an authentic expression of Champagne AOC. Aged for three and a half years in the bottle, this fine traditional method wine is created from a harmonious blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, vinified in enamelled tanks. Ideal for enhancing moments of relaxation in good company, it proudly displays the motto “La Différence en Plus” on its label. This cuvée, designed for everyday enjoyment, offers the palate an impeccable balance between power and finesse.

Monsieur Mercier is an energetic winemaker who loves travel and photography. He has a weakness for white grapes, despite he is based in the West of the Marne, where Pinot Meunier is the master.
During the harvest period, he avails of the collaboration of several Parisian students, who spend a period of work and leisure here, helping to enliven this part of a sleepy little territory.
This joie de vivre of this manufacturer is then reflected in his champagne, which is always crisp and fresh. Read more
