Champagne 1er Cru Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut Cuvee Haute Volee

What kind of wine it is

The Champagne Premier Cru Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut Cuvée Haute Volée by Waris-Larmandier is a wine with a taut and elegant profile. Made from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes, it appears in the glass with a bright straw yellow colour and a fine perlage. On the nose, fresh citrus notes emerge, intertwined with clear mineral hints. The palate is distinguished by a creamy, lively and distinctly savoury character, enhanced by the Extra Brut dosage. It is ideal for accompanying starters, fish dishes, shellfish and cheese selections.

Where it comes from

The Champagne Premier Cru by Waris-Larmandier originates in Avize, at the heart of the renowned French wine region. The family, now in its sixth generation, manages every stage of production directly, operating as a récoltant-manipulant. The estate’s deeply sustainable approach follows the strict principles of biodynamics, ensuring the utmost respect for the land. This production philosophy, focused on aromatic purity, results in a wine that clearly expresses the complex geological identity of Champagne.

How it is produced

Vinification faithfully follows the Traditional Method, with careful management to preserve the freshness and linearity of the fruit. The delicate prise de mousse leads to the second fermentation in the bottle, an essential step in developing the structure and elegance of the bubbles. The low residual sugar gives a dry flavour profile, highlighting the natural savoury vein and the clean finish. The entire process reflects the principles of organic farming, resulting in a sip with a strong mineral character and lively creaminess.
