The production of Les Montants 2020 Adrien Renoir
Les Montants 2020 is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the eponymous vineyard in Verzy Grand Cru. The plot, certified organic since 2020, is planted on chalky soil that gives the wine a vibrant minerality and great elegance. After meticulous manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed before being vinified in oak barrels. This method preserves the integrity of the aromas and offers remarkable aromatic complexity.
Full malolactic fermentation adds a subtle roundness to this cuvée. After bottling in July 2021, the wine rests on its lees for several months, giving it depth and texture. Finally, with a minimal dosage of 1 g/L, this Extra Brut champagne highlights all the purity and richness of its terroir of origin.
The 2020 vintage
The 2020 vintage was marked by exceptional weather conditions. After a mild winter and an early spring, the hot, dry summer allowed the grapes to ripen perfectly. The harvest, carried out at optimal maturity, produced concentrated and balanced bunches. The Chardonnays from this year have salty and airy notes, with perfectly integrated acidity. This unique vintage perfectly illustrates the finesse and freshness characteristic of Verzy wines.
