Description
What kind of wine it is
Champagne Jean Velut Premier Temps Blanc de Blancs Brut is an authentic and refined expression. In the glass, it displays a straw yellow colour with golden highlights, heralding a clear bouquet. On the nose, it offers well-defined fruity aromas, with hints of peach, pineapple and citrus. Produced using the Traditional Method, it combines this olfactory richness with a fresh and elegant palate. The Brut dosage ensures a linear profile, perfect for accompanying starters, fish dishes, shellfish and selected cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the sunny hills of Montgueux, characterised by favourable south and south-east exposures. The distinctive feature of the area is the deep chalky limestone soils, essential for regulating humidity and ensuring excellent drainage. It is this complex geological matrix that offers Chardonnay the ideal conditions to develop a brilliant aromatic profile, imparting pronounced minerality and precise structure.
How it is produced
Production follows organic and sustainable practices, respecting the natural balance of the vineyard. Vinification employs the Traditional Method, with a secondary fermentation that enhances its liveliness. After resting on the lees, disgorgement defines a clean sip true to the Brut style. This cuvée boasts remarkable ageing potential, capable of evolving harmoniously for several years while maintaining its freshness.

The hill of Montgueux borders the Paris basin. The soil has a calcareous nature: about 600 meters deep in chalk. In summer, this keeps freshness and moisture, the heat is stored between seasons, and the rain is well drained in winter: the vines thrive best in the southerly and east -southerly sunny slopes where they are planted.
