Champagne Domaine Les Croix Le Coq Tome I Extra Brut

What kind of wine is it

Champagne Domaine Les Croix Le Coq Tome I Extra Brut by Gaspard Brochet is an Extra Brut Champagne, a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier made using the Traditional Method. In appearance, it stands out for its pale gold colour with coppery highlights, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. The aromatic bouquet ranges from red apple to small red fruits and citrus, with elegant chalky notes and hints of pastry. On the palate, it is dry and vibrant, characterised by a pronounced acidity that leads to a long, saline and mineral finish.

Where does it come from

The Champagne by Gaspard Brochet is an authentic expression of the French terroir and its chalky soil, which imparts a profound minerality to the sip. The viticulture is based on organic and sustainable management, aimed at preserving the integrity of the environment. Awarded ninety-four points by Vinous critics, this prestigious cuvée boasts an excellent ageing potential, estimated between fifteen and twenty-five years, allowing for complex and fascinating maturation.

How is it produced

The production process involves the Traditional Method, with secondary fermentation in the bottle that gives elegance and a fine, vertical and persistent mousse. The low dosage chosen by the producer enhances its purity and gustatory tension. Served at a temperature of 6-8 °C, this wine demonstrates great gastronomic versatility. It is perfect for accompanying tuna tartare, fish-based dishes and refined starters, but also pairs well with cured meats, roast white meats and mature cheeses.
