Description
What kind of wine it is
Pierre Deville Champagne Copin Grand Cru Chardonnay Extra Brut is a Blanc de Blancs made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. In the glass, the Champagne displays a straw yellow colour with golden highlights, enhanced by a fine perlage. The bouquet combines clear fruity and floral aromas with fragrant pastry notes. On the palate, it is fresh and incisive, highlighting the dry and rigorous character typical of the Extra Brut dosage, for a linear and precise tasting experience.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from Verzy, a renowned Grand Cru commune in Champagne. Here, Pierre Deville, an independent winemaker guided by organic and sustainable principles, cultivates Chardonnay on brown limestone soils resting on chalk. This soil composition imparts a pronounced minerality to the grapes, reflecting the deep geographical roots of the area. These agronomic conditions allow for pure, distinctive fruit, fully enhancing the vocation of the French terroir.
How it is produced
Production faithfully follows the Traditional Method. The base wine's ageing in oak barrels adds structure and depth to the overall aromatic profile. Awarded an impressive 95 points by James Suckling, this wine stands out for its remarkable palate clarity. Best enjoyed between 6 and 8°C, it is an excellent accompaniment to starters, dishes based on lean fish and cheese assortments, ensuring impeccable balance with every sip.
History and Curiosities
Produced in Verzy by an independent winemaker, this Champagne Blanc de Blancs embodies an organic and sustainable vision. Made from Grand Cru Chardonnay grapes from the 2020 harvest, grown on brown limestone and chalk soils, it is vinified according to the traditional method and aged entirely in oak barrels. The Extra Brut dosage defines its fresh and incisive profile, awarded 95 points by James Suckling. An artisanal expression of absolute prestige that fully enhances the authenticity of the French terroir.
