Description
History
The Bruno Michel maison, founded by Bruno and his wife Catherine, is located in Pierry in the Marne Valley, cultivating the 35 parcels of property strictly organically. 50% is grown in Chardonnay, 40% in Pinot Meunier and the rest in Pinot noir. The cellar is dug into the chalk-limestone caves where the champagnes are assembled and aged, stored in the constant humidity present in the subsoil.
Grapes used
Chardonnay 55%
Pinot Meunier 45%
Production method
The wine is produced with the champenoise method, which involves two fermentations: the first in the vat and the second in the bottle with yeasts that develop carbon dioxide. The wine ages for at least 60 months on its lees.

Tasting notes
Straw yellow color with orange notes, very fine and elegant perlage. On the nose notes of white flowers, golden apple, heather honey, candied citrus fruits, pastry, toasted hazelnuts and melted butter, with an intense “wave” of mineral and limestone, closing with spices of white pepper and vanilla. On the palate it is broad, fat and enveloping, very creamy, but held together by a lively acidity, minerality and a surprising depth. Very long and pleasant finish in the mouth.
Possible combinations
The “entrance” line of this maison is absolutely surprising for the perfumes and the expressed maturity. Very pleasant with delicate but tasty dishes, so yes to fish appetizers, crudités, sushi and also first courses always based on fish. Also goes very well with white truffles, lasagna, carbonara and other succulent or “fat” first courses. Also perfect on the occasion of a toast, given the splendid pleasure of drinking.
