Champagne 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Vertus Experience Extra Brut

What kind of wine it is

Andre Jacquart Champagne 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Vertus Experience is a dry and precise sparkling wine, crafted according to the rigorous Traditional Method. Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, this Blanc de Blancs fully expresses the elegance of its terroir. In the glass, it reveals a pale straw yellow colour and a fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet offers citrus and pastry notes, intertwined with white flowers, summer fruits, and a delicate chalky nuance. On the palate, it is taut and balanced, delivering a lively and highly drinkable experience.

Where it comes from

This wine is produced in Vertus, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, a renowned area of the Champagne region historically recognised for outstanding interpretations of Chardonnay. The Premier Cru designation reflects a top-quality winegrowing area, capable of producing grapes with marked aromatic precision. The André Jacquart winery creates a cuvée that faithfully respects its native soil, enhancing a distinct fine minerality. In the glass, elegant iodised notes and a pleasant saline sensation emerge. This lively savouriness makes it ideal for accompanying refined starters, lean fish, or delicate cheeses, perfectly showcasing its territorial identity.

How it is produced

The vinification aims to enhance the grape through maturation in oak barrels, a technique that adds complexity to the structure without ever overshadowing the expression of the terroir. The winery chooses to avoid malolactic fermentation, thus ensuring a more direct and vibrant freshness. After the prise de mousse, a long four-year rest on the lees shapes an elegant and creamy effervescence. This wine stands out for its very low Extra Brut dosage, supporting a harmonious palate with echoes of lemon and peach. It should be served chilled to fully appreciate its perfect gustatory balance.
