Description
What kind of wine it is
Loriot Francine Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut is a rigorous Traditional Method wine made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. In the glass, the Champagne displays a straw yellow colour enlivened by golden highlights, accentuated by a fine perlage. The bouquet opens with clear fruity aromas and notes of tropical fruit. On the palate, it is full, smooth and supported by a deep mineral structure that leads to a clean, dry finish consistent with the Brut dosage.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in France, among the vineyards of the Marne Valley. The cuvée comes from a small plot dedicated entirely to cultivating Chardonnay, a choice that defines the tense and vibrant identity of the Blanc de Blancs. Loriot Francine, a small family-run winery, follows a solid artisan approach. The expression of the terroir emerges with precision, ensuring a clear link between the aromatic sensations and the mineral characteristics of the soil.
How it is produced
The vinification involves a careful blend of vintages, specifically structured to balance freshness and complexity. As required by the Traditional Method, the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle and concludes with a period on the lees, a key step to integrate the tropical aromas and define the elegance of the sip. The result is a harmonious wine, perfect to enjoy at a serving temperature of 6-8 °C to fully appreciate its character.
