Description
What type of wine it is
Baron Albert’s Champagne Belle des Vallées Brut is a white wine produced in the renowned Champagne region from a harmonious blend of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. This Champagne presents a fresh and elegant profile, characterised by aromas of green apple, citrus fruits and bread crust that precede a lively, creamy and mineral sip. The production follows the rules of the Classic Method, ensuring a fine and persistent perlage combined with a smooth and well-balanced structure.
Where it comes from
This label originates from north-eastern France, precisely combining the characteristics of the historic Marne Valley and Montagne de Reims areas. The soils and geographical peculiarities of these territories give great structure and elegance to the grapes, promoting an ideal balance between freshness and aromatic complexity. The producing family, historically rooted in the commune of Charly-sur-Marne, cultivates its vineyards with the aim of expressing the maximum authenticity and pure identity of the local territory.
How it is produced
The vinification faithfully follows the rigorous Traditional Method process, also known as Méthode Champenoise. After the blending of the base wines, the fundamental re-fermentation in the bottle takes place, followed by slow ageing in close contact with the lees for a period of 18-24 months. This long rest structurally enriches the wine's organoleptic profile, finally completed by a Brut dosage with a residual sugar of 8 g/l, which ensures a long and clean finish.
History and curiosities
The renowned family maison Baron & Filles, historically rooted in the heart of Charly-sur-Marne, creates this Champagne by blending centuries-old winemaking traditions with innovation. Their absolute commitment to their native environment is reflected in the desire to express the authenticity of the Marne terroir.
