Vinification of the Brut Grande Réserve 3.0 l Jeroboam from Dourdon Vieillard

This balanced sparkling wine from France is made from the grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. In Champagne, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and limestone soils. Naturally, the Brut Grande Réserve 3.0 l Jeroboam is also shaped by the climate and winemaking style of Champagne. In the truest sense of the word, this French wine can be described as an Old World wine, presenting itself as exceptionally distinguished and complex. The ripeness of the harvested grapes for this wine made from Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir is influenced to a very large extent by the climate of the growing region. In Champagne, the grapes thrive in a rather cool climate, which is reflected, among other things, in particularly long and evenly ripened grapes and a rather moderate must weight. After hand-picking, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation of the base wines then follows. After the composition of the final Champagne, further maturation takes place on the basis of the Méthode Traditionelle. The Dourdon Vieillard Brut Grande Réserve 3.0 l Jeroboam then ages for 6 months in the bottle.
