Description
What kind of wine is it
Champagne Premier Cru Brut Nature by Ruppert Leroy is a dry organic wine, created from a carefully selected blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Produced using the Traditional Method, it is distinguished by the complete absence of dosage. Its aromatic profile weaves together delicate flowers and white-fleshed fruit with notes of ripe lemons, finishing with a lively hint of pepper. On the palate, it is fluid, elegant, and boasts excellent persistence of flavour.
Where does it come from
This sparkling wine originates from the historic Champagne region, proudly bearing the prestigious Premier Cru classification. The vineyards are rooted in clay-limestone soils, characterised by a marked predominance of white limestone. This specific geological composition imparts a pronounced mineral character and pleasant sensations of tension to the taste. The identity of the terroir defines an essential and precise profile, ideal for enhancing the natural characteristics of the area.
How is it produced
The production process strictly follows the principles of the Traditional Method. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in used barrels, followed by a natural malolactic fermentation that ensures a dry and linear character. After resting for nine months on the lees, the wine matures further through twenty-two months of ageing. This lengthy maturation, combined with the choice of zero dosage, gives the glass extreme fluidity and an exceptionally clear finish.
History and Curiosities
Excellence takes shape in the 2022 vintage of Champagne Premier Cru Ruppert-Leroy, in the prestigious Gaston & Louise cuvée. This organic white, an expression of select clay-limestone soils, reveals a complex character thanks to fermentation in used barrels and natural malolactic fermentation. The ageing of 9 months on the lees and 22 months in the bottle gives this Brut Nature pas dosé a pure and crystalline structure. Awarded 91 points by Decanter, it harmoniously combines Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in a traditional method sparkling wine of impeccable elegance.
