Le Gallais "Cuvée des Cèdres" Extra Brut Champagne

SKU #1425024

This small, all estate-grown Champagne is sourced from only one vineyard, the Clos Boursault, an ancient walled parcel just west of Epernay on the Marne. This grower-producer has roots dating back to 1843, and even earlier if you consider that the previous owner of this vineyard was Madame Veuve-Clicquot. Five generations of the family now work the vines and the cellars, making this truly a boutique Champagne domaine.

This Champagne, from the perfect exposures inside the walls of the Clos, did not need any dosage. It is composed of 45% Pinot Noir, 45% Meunier and 10% Chardonnay, so it’s very close to the Derot in composition. But the wine could not be more different. This Champagne has a warm baguette bouquet and clean red cherry and pear flavors. It is dry and zingy but not at all austere, and will go very well with anything from tuna tartare to composed salads.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Champagne

- The French region of Champagne (comprised of the towns of Rheims, Epernay, and Ay) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and winemaking traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range from the basic brut (often blends of several vintages), single vintage champagnes, and rose.
