Description
What kind of wine is it
Ployez-Jacquemart presents a Champagne with a rigorous profile, the result of a balanced blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. In the glass, it reveals a golden hue and a fine perlage, supported by a continuous mousse. The bouquet combines fragrant aromas of ripe fruit and citrus with delicate floral nuances, finishing with subtle hints of brioche. On the palate, it is full-bodied and dense, with a distinctly dry taste. The structure is built on vibrant acidity, culminating in a persistent finish that prolongs the intensity and purity of each sip.
Where does it come from
This cuvée originates in Ludes, at the heart of the Champagne region. The Ployez-Jacquemart winery vinifies its own grapes in pursuit of the most authentic expression of the terroir, ensuring extraordinary longevity. The natural energy and pronounced acidity give the wine a solid potential for evolution over time. At the table, its strong gastronomic vocation is best expressed with shellfish, lean fish dishes and mature cheeses, while it is equally elegant as an aperitif.
How is it produced
The entire process faithfully follows the Traditional Method, with production aimed at enhancing the distinctive characteristics of the vineyards. The wine rests in the cellar for at least eight years, spending six of those in direct contact with the lees. The producer applies a rigorous technique to preserve the integrity of the fruit during the long ageing process, limiting the excessive aromatic impact of the lees. The choice of late disgorgement is essential to preserve freshness and define a firm, dry character. This meticulous technical attention delivers a vibrant and exceptionally clean sip.
