Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Grand Cru Cramant Extra Brut by Pertois-Moriset is a refined Blanc de Blancs made entirely from Chardonnay grapes. Produced according to the strict rules of the Traditional Method, it appears in the glass with a bright straw yellow colour, enhanced by a delicately creamy perlage. The bouquet opens with elegant notes of white flowers and lemon zest, accompanied by subtle hints of pastry. On the palate, it is taut and vibrant, characterised by pronounced savouriness and lively acidity that lead to a long, mineral finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from Cramant, a renowned village classified as Grand Cru located in the Côte des Blancs, the prime area for Chardonnay within the Champagne region. The deep connection with the land is expressed through a distinct chalky minerality, which gives the Champagne a precise structure and great freshness. The Pertois-Moriset winery manages its vineyards following the principles of organic and sustainable agriculture, aiming to preserve the integrity of the soil and the expressive purity of the grapes.
How it is produced
The quality of the grapes is enhanced through the slow prise de mousse typical of the Traditional Method. The low dosage defines its Extra Brut character, highlighting a linear, pure and uncompromising sip. Thanks to patient ageing on the lees, this cuvée develops remarkable complexity and a significant capacity for evolution over time. Served at an ideal temperature between 6 and 8 °C, it pairs perfectly with sushi and sashimi, oysters, delicate fish dishes and fine cheeses.
