This Empreinte No. 2 cuvée from Thevenet-Delouvin is a very fruity blanc de noir that surprises with its freshness and minerality.
This champagne is made exclusively from Pinot Meunier, the estate's emblematic grape variety, grown on the "Les Rieux" plot in the Cerseuil terroir on the left bank of the Marne Valley, with clay on top of limestone bedrock.
Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation takes place in small stainless steel vats to fully reveal the power and brilliance of the grapes. The 360 bottles of this cuvée are aged for over three years and are riddled and disgorged by hand. This wine is Extra-Brut, with less than 4 g/L of dosage.
This cuvée has a golden color with fine, delicate effervescence.
Empreinte numéro 2 offers a nose with notes of raspberry and blackberry, highlighting a champagne with beautiful density and great complexity.
On the palate, red fruits are present with the expected crispness and richness, underscored by the freshness and tension of a citrus finish. It is refined, elegant, and powerful. A unique cuvée with great personality.
This Blanc de Noir, produced by Thevenet-Delouvin, is a wine for fine dining and will pair perfectly with a rib of beef, duck parmentier, or veal Orloff.
