This cuvée is made with the Pinot Noirs from our old vines in Vertus. Clement weather, low yields and very stringent sorting are necessary to make this red wine a success. The Pinots are partially destemmed and then macerated for about twelve days. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out with natural yeast. The wines are matured in casks for 18 months.

This is the latest release from Christophe, made from equal parts of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. After first fermentation it spends 9 months in new oak before bottling. It then sits on its lees for a further three years before disgorgement and the addition of 7gm/ltr of cane sugar.

From the outset, Brut Premier affirms its personality and seduction: the texture is full and generous and, in a fairly unexpected way, integrates characteristics of maturity associated with fruitier and more refreshing notes.

100% Chardonnay from Premier Crus vineyards planted in 1982 and 1962, given absolutely no 'dosage', making it an ultra brut, and in Pierre Larmandier's words a true expression of the Vertus 'terroir'. Elegant, restrained, with toasty, citrus flavours and underlying minerality this really is a sensational wine.
