Description
What kind of wine it is
Ployez-Jacquemart Granite is an Extra Brut Champagne with a dry and elegant profile. Crafted using the Traditional Method, it is made from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The golden yellow colour is crossed by a fine perlage that creates a creamy mousse. On the nose, notes of white-fleshed fruit, lemon and pastry emerge, accompanied by hints of dried fruit. On the palate, it reveals a silky texture and an enveloping body, where lively citrus merges into a long, savoury finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Champagne region, faithfully reflecting the character of its terroir. Its profile is shaped by granitic soils, which impart linearity and tension. Ployez-Jacquemart enhances the territory through pronounced acidity and a clear mineral expression. Care in the vineyard preserves the natural freshness of the grapes, ensuring a vibrant and authentic tasting experience.
How it is produced
The production of this Extra Brut follows a carefully studied blend to ensure great complexity. To enhance the gustatory tension, part of the base wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation, thus maintaining energetic acidity. The process includes a delicate passage in barrels, which enriches the bouquet with subtle toasted nuances without overpowering the fruit. The low sugar dosage defines a rigorous profile, capable of highlighting the purity of the raw material.
