Champagne Assemblé Extra Brut Bruno Michel 75 cl

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 78%

Pinot Meunier 22%

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 wisteria, golden apple, heather honey, candied citrus fruits, gingerbread, pastry, toasted hazelnut 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

Given the great aromatic complexity, minerality and structure expressed on the palate, one of the best dishes that you can combine with this champagne is a nice white truffle first course, or delicate but very tasty second courses of white meat or fish. Excellent product also for meditation, or for a special toast in the company of special people.
