Description
What kind of wine it is
Champagne La Garenne Brut Nature from Domaine Lagille is a Blanc de Noirs made from Pinot Meunier grapes. Produced strictly using the Traditional Method, this pas dosé sparkling wine stands out for its straw yellow colour with golden highlights and a fine perlage. The bouquet combines clear fruity aromas with elegant yeast notes. On the palate, it is dry, complex and pleasant, offering a linear sip that naturally enhances raw fish, crispy tempura and cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes grow in the Vallée de l’Ardres, on the slopes of the Montagne de Reims, in Champagne. The vines sink their roots into soils characterised by a mosaic of clay, sand and limestone. This geological composition enhances the expressiveness of Pinot Meunier, imparting a clear territorial imprint to the glass. The interaction between the vine and the hilly microclimate results in a defined structure, capable of outlining the distinctive character and authenticity of this Blanc de Noirs.
How it is produced
Fermentation takes place entirely in oak barrels. The prise de mousse in the bottle follows the principles of the Traditional Method, essential for developing its unmistakable elegance. The complete absence of dosage consolidates the rigorous style of the Brut Nature. The decision to operate with zero filtration finally allows the varietal nuances and the wine’s authentic aromatic heritage to remain intact.
