Jacques Chaput

L'Authentic | Bottle 75cl

Description

L'Authentic by Champagne Jacques Chaput is a singular, subtly oaky cuvée, made from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Aged 11 years on laths, this brut is distinguished by its complexity, finesse and elegance. Partial aging in oak barrels gives it a classic, refined style, perfectly balanced between freshness and delicacy.

How L'Authentic Jacques Chaput champagne is made

Made from 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, this cuvée comes from Kimmeridgian clay-limestone terroirs in Arrentières, Aube. The grapes are partially vinified in oak barrels, giving the wine depth and elegance. The blend is based on the 2011 and 2012 vintages, bottled in 2013. Fermentation is followed by 11 years of ageing on laths, well beyond appellation standards. The dosage is 6.5 g/L (MCR), perfectly integrated to reveal the wine's richness without masking its freshness.
