WINE DESCRIPTION
Gaston Chiquet Or Brut Champagne is a distinguished expression from the premier cru vineyards of the Épernay region. Crafted from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this Champagne showcases the estate's commitment to quality and traditional winemaking practices. The fruit is sourced from carefully selected parcels, ensuring optimal ripeness and complexity. After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo a meticulous pressing process, with fermentation taking place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh character of the fruit. The wine is aged on its lees, contributing to its depth and texture, before undergoing secondary fermentation in the bottle, resulting in a fine, persistent mousse.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Champagne displays a bright golden hue with a lively effervescence.On the nose, it reveals a bouquet of crisp green apple, pear, and citrus notes, accompanied by hints of brioche and toasted almond. The palate is vibrant and refreshing, offering a harmonious balance of ripe fruit and zesty acidity, with a creamy mouthfeel that lingers beautifully.
