Champagne Gremillet Selection Brut

A stunning, award winning Champagne that delivers on all fronts!

Tasting Note

This Champagne shows fine mousse in the glass and fresh floral aromas mixed with characteristic sweet, doughy overtones, which are balanced by richer fruit, peach skin characters and classic baked biscuit flavours with a crisp citrus finish.

Producer Details

The Gremillet estate comprises of 33 hectares of vineyards and is situated in a small village 45 kilometres from Troyes, the historic capital of Champagne, 180 kilometres south of Paris. The vines lie on steep, sun-drenched hillsides, ideal for creating a classic baked biscuit, rich fruit Champagne.

In The Vineyard

The vineyards, situated in the southern reaches of Troyes achieve greater ripeness which leads to a richer fruit and classic baked biscuit flavours mixed with characteristic toasty yeast overtones.

In The Winery

Only the first, lightest pressings are used, as is usual for fine Champagne. Classic slow second fermentation in bottle followed by maturing on the lees for at least 18 months before being disgorged and released for sale.

Food Recommendations

Drinks very nicely well chilled on its own of course (but not on your own - this is the sociable drink par excellence after all!) , but also recommended with light nibbles, salads and simple fish dishes.

"In my blind tasting this grower's Champagne came right up the top against stiff competition. Snap it up quickly. And then remember the name for next time."
