Brut Prestige Millésime - Dourdon Vieillard

With the Dourdon Vieillard Brut Prestige Millésime, a first-class Champagne enters the well-polished wine glass. There it reveals a wonderfully bright, light red color. The perlage of this Champagne sparkles in the glass. The first nose of the Brut Prestige Millésime reveals notes of lemon and acacia. Additional fruity-balsamic nuances join the fruity components of the bouquet.

On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced Champagne presents itself as wonderfully light, crisp, and creamy. On the finish, this wine from the Champagne winegrowing region finally delights with a lovely length. Once again, hints of acacia and lemon appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the clay- and limestone-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Brut Prestige Millésime from Dourdon Vieillard

The basis for the balanced Brut Prestige Millésime from Champagne is grapes from the Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Noir varieties. In Champagne, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and limestone soils. After hand-picking, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by the fermentation of the base wines. After the assemblage of the Champagne, further aging takes place using the Méthode Traditionelle. The Dourdon Vieillard Brut Prestige Millésime then matures in the bottle for 6 months.
