Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Les Suzaines Extra Brut by Sadi Malot is a sparkling wine crafted using the Traditional Method, which enhances the unique qualities of Chardonnay. Visually, it stands out for its fine and persistent perlage, introducing an aromatic profile characterised by fruity notes in harmony with hints of bread crust. On the palate, the Extra Brut style offers a dry and linear sip. It is ideal for accompanying seafood starters, cheeses, white fish, or more complex dishes such as veal and sweetbreads.
Where it comes from
This Blanc de Blancs originates from the vineyards of Verzy, located in the renowned Champagne region. The terroir, classified as Grand Cru, is distinguished by the presence of chalky soil, which imparts a clear savoury note and great precision on the palate. The vineyard management follows organic and sustainable practices, respecting the natural vocation of the area. The strong territorial identity of these vineyards allows the Chardonnay to express itself with utmost clarity and elegance.
How it is produced
The production process begins with pressing, followed by vinification in ovoid raw concrete tanks. Malolactic fermentation is completed in full, promoting balance in the sip. The total ageing lasts forty-eight months, thirty-four of which are spent in contact with the lees. This rigorous process, in accordance with the principles of the Méthode Champenoise, results in a dry and well-balanced profile, defining its structure and final character.
