The Brut Pinot Blanc cuvée from Maison Moutard is a rarity in Champagne. Made exclusively from Pinot Blanc, a historic grape variety that is rarely grown today, it offers a unique, fruity and generous expression of the Côte des Bar. This unusual champagne combines finesse, roundness and sensuality.
The production of Moutard's Brut Pinot Blanc champagne
This single-varietal champagne is produced from vines aged between 25 and 50 years old, pruned using the Guyot method and planted in the clay-limestone soils of the Kimmeridgian geological formation of the Côte des Bar. The vines are carefully tended, with natural fertilizers made from cow manure and grape marc.
Vinification
This cuvée is partially vinified (20%) in 40-liter oak casks and stainless steel vats. The second fermentation in the bottle takes place at 15°C, followed by a minimum of 36 months of aging on slats in the cellars of the house. The dosage is 7 g/L, offering a balance between freshness and richness.
