Champagne Autréau de Champillon Réserve Brut Millésime Grand Cru 2019

Exceptional Vintage Grand Cru: Complexity and Depth

The Réserve Brut Millésime Grand Cru represents the ultimate expression of the Autréau de Champillon estate, crafted only when the vintage is deemed excellent. This is a true vintage Champagne, meticulously blended from 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, sourced exclusively from the prestigious Grand Cru villages of Ay (Pinot Noir) and Chouilly (Chardonnay). The resulting complexity and depth are achieved through an impressive minimum of six years of aging on the lees.

Tasting Notes

The palate is equally ample, showcasing fine floral aromas and rich ripe fruit. The long aging provides a profound structure and persistent finish.
