Champagne Brut Premiere Cru Aoc - Autreau

Description

Take all three types of grapes grown on the Domaine , hand them over to the Autreau winery and enjoy Champagne Premier Cru Brut .

This incredible company , witness of traditions and modernity , meets one of the most evocative terroirs of the Champagne wine region and transforms it into excellent bottles !

The Premier Cru Brut Champagne fully reflects the soul and territoriality of Autreau : 20% Chardonnay , 40% Pinot Noir and 40% Pinot Meunier .

The aromas are intense and fruity and reminiscent of apple , apricot and hazelnuts , with a pleasant note of ripe pineapple to give an inviting freshness . The sip is full and marked , with notes of pastry and toasted almonds , while the freshness is supported by the choice of a rather light dosage , which favors its pairing at the table .

A champagne that dares , but does not exaggerate .

Why you should drink it

The vinification as per tradition takes place in steel tanks and afterwards each wine receives the complete malolactic , the attention to each step is essential to keep the scents and flavors faithful from the vineyard to the single bottle sold . Aging in the bottle takes place for 30/36 months on selected yeasts .
