Grand Cru Blanc De Blancs Extra Brut 1,5 l Magnum - Vesselle Georges

The elegant Grand Cru Blanc De Blancs Extra Brut 1.5 l Magnum from the house of Vesselle Georges flows into the glass with a bright light red color. The perlage of this champagne presents itself in the glass as exceedingly fine, elegant and long-lasting. After the first swirl, one can perceive an excellent balance in this sparkling wine, as it does not appear watery, syrupy or liqueur-like on the sides of the glass. The first nose of the Grand Cru Blanc De Blancs Extra Brut 1.5 l Magnum caresses with notes of lemons, oranges and ripe apple. Hazelnut joins the fruity components of the bouquet.

On the palate, the texture of this balanced champagne is wonderfully light, crisp and creamy. On the finish, this wine from the Champagne wine-growing region delights with beautiful length. Hints of ripe apple and lemon appear again. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the limestone- and clay-dominated soils are also added.

Vinification of the Grand Cru Blanc De Blancs Extra Brut 1.5 l Magnum from Vesselle Georges

The well-balanced Grand Cru Blanc De Blancs Extra Brut 1.5 l Magnum from France is a cuvée vinified from the grape varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Champagne. Here, the vines drive their roots deep into soils of clay and limestone. It is obvious that the Grand Cru Blanc De Blancs Extra Brut 1.5 l Magnum is also shaped by the climate and viticultural style of Champagne. This French wine can, in the best sense of the word, be described as an Old World wine, presenting itself as exceptionally distinguished and complex. The ripening of the harvested grapes for this wine from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is influenced to a very high degree 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 even grapes and a rather moderate must weight. After the grape harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are selected and gently pressed. Fermentation of the base wines then follows. After the assemblage of the cuvée, further maturation takes place on the basis of the Méthode Champenoise. The Vesselle Georges Grand Cru Blanc De Blancs Extra Brut 1.5 l Magnum then matures in the bottle for several months and is finally disgorged.
