Alfred Gratien

Brut Classique|Bottle 75cl

The Brut Classique from the house of Alfred Gratien is the house's signature cuvée. It is a champagne that combines notes of fruit, gourmet aromas provided by winemaking in wood, and a touch of freshness.

Brut Classique is a blend dominated by Chardonnay (46%) which offers lightness and freshness, while Pinot Meunier (30%) brings its fruity presence. Pinot Noir completes this blend and provides a beautiful structure.

This cuvée is vinified and aged in small 228-liter oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out in order to retain a lot of freshness and to maximize the aging time. The dosage is gross, around 9g / l.

The Brut Classique Alfred Gratien has a light yellow color studded with fine and rapid bubbles.

Its nose reveals complex notes of cookies, pastries and white fruits, which then evolve into aromas of citrus fruits, white flowers and fresh butter.

On the palate, the Brut Classique offers a frank attack, then unfolds chalky, mineral notes, with a beautiful lightness.

The finish is clean, with good length.

It is an ideal cuvée for a dinner aperitif, especially with savory or sweet petits fours.
