Description
What kind of wine it is
Cuvee Racines de Trois Extra Brut is a Champagne that fully expresses the character of its terroir. This blend combines Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in a straw yellow glass with golden highlights. Crafted using the Traditional Method, it offers a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, elegant floral and fruity aromas emerge, enriched by delicate yeast notes. The palate is fresh, balanced and well-bodied, unfolding into a long finish, ideal paired with starters, fish dishes, shellfish and cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced in Avize, thanks to the work of Waris-Larmandier. Now in its sixth generation, the family operates as an independent winegrower following a philosophy centred on enhancing the local area. The estate adopts sustainable and organic practices, applying the principles of biodynamic agriculture. This deep connection with the land translates into an authentic glass, capable of faithfully reflecting every nuance of the renowned Champagne region.
How it is produced
Production strictly follows the stages of the Traditional Method, which involves a slow second fermentation in the bottle. The period of ageing on the lees is a crucial step to enrich the aromatic profile and define the fine texture of the bubbles. Finally, the choice of Extra Brut dosage allows for a dry and linear sensory profile, enhancing the lively freshness and ensuring remarkable persistence on the palate.
