CHAMPAGNE VEUVE M LEPITRE Champagne Vve Maurice Lepitre White 2012 Champagne premier cru

Sparkling - White - Extra Brut

Description

Viticulture

«Premier Cru» from Rilly-La-Montagne, in the «Montagne de Reims» in the «Appellation Champagne». Average age of the vines: 40 years-old. Clayey-chalky soil with a limestone subsoil. High Environmental Quality and Sustainable Viticulture. Traditional Massal Selection.

Vinification

Bottled: April 2013. Ageing in our cellars: minimum of 8 years before disgorging.

Vintage details

In 2012, despite an exceptional cold snap at the beginning of the year, the season ended with a nice warm spell. This favoured perfect ripening of the grapes, especially the Pinots.

Tasting notes

To the Eye: Light yellow colour with amber reflections. To the Nose: Notes of ripe fruit, with apple aromas. On the palate: Persistent mousse, complex and harmonious mouth of toasted bread typical of mature champagnes, of honey and wild berries with a discreet finish. Very seductive vinous style. Champagne of gastronomy, it is the perfect match for hot starters, shellfish, meats and fishes of unctuous textures or it can be enjoyed at the end of the day without any accompaniment so that its complexity can be savoured.

Awards

As this is one of the oldest vintages, the presence of slight crystals at the bottom of the bottle is natural and harmless.
