Vinification of the Brut 1834 in GP by Charles Lafitte

The origin of this exquisite champagne lies in the top-quality vineyards of the Champagne region, where the grapes ripen under optimal climatic conditions. The careful selection of the grapes is made exclusively from certified Grand Cru and Premier Cru sites to guarantee high quality and expression. The harvest is carried out based on quality at the ideal ripeness to preserve the full aromatic richness of the individual grape varieties.

Subsequently, gentle pressing is applied, using only the Sant'Premier pressing to obtain clear, delicate musts. The vinification proceeds traditionally with cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks, preserving freshness and fruity aromas. The assemblage skillfully combines the grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, whose harmonious interplay forms the complex structure of the Brut 1834.

The secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle via the traditional Méthode Champenoise. The wine matures for at least 36 months on the lees, during which the typical creaminess and a fine brioche scent develop, characteristic of a legendary champagne. After riddling and disgorging, the addition of dosage ensures the perfect balance between freshness and the finest residual sweetness. This results in a product that meets the highest demands for elegance and sophistication.
