Guy Charlemagne - Champagne Brut Classic NV

Champagne Guy Charlemagne is situated in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, in the small village of Mesnil sur Oger. As father to son winegrowers since 1892, they only harvest and vinify grapes from their own vineyards. Producing around 130 000 bottles per year, sold 30% in France and 70% abroad.

The vineyards, 15 hectares (37 acres), are composed mainly of vines situated in the Côte des Blancs, and more specifically, in the Mesnil sur Oger and Oger crus. The complement is composed of vineyards in Mancy, Cuis, Glannes and Sézanne. The grapes are therefore essentially Chardonnay (87%) and the rest Pinot Noir. 

From the chalky-clay terroir of Sezanne, this brut champagne is a blend of 50% chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir brings body and structure, whereas Chardonnay brings finesse and elegance. Vinified in thermo regulated stainless steel and matured for two years in our underground cellars from different reserve wines, this Brut Extra’s dosage is around 8 grams per litre. It is a highly pleasurable wine with balance and breeding.

"This ripe, balanced and fruity wine has good acidity as well as a poised and elegant layer of white fruits. Fruitiness contrasts with the more textured character that comes through with orange zest and a tight aftertaste. Drink now." - 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast
