Adrien Renoir 'Le Cepage' Verzy Grand Cru Extra Brut
Adrien Renoir 'Le Cepage' Verzy Grand Cru Extra Brut
Aromas of pear, orange oil, freshly baked bread, toasted almonds and white flowers introduce the NV Extra-Brut Grand Cru Le Cépage, disgorged in January 2023. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave, it's fleshy and enveloping, with a ripe core of fruit, bright acids and a saline finish.
The Champagne Le Cepage by Adrien Renoir is a pure expression of Pinot Noir from Verzy, a prestigious Grand Cru village in the Montagne de Reims. This Blanc de Noirs is made exclusively with Pinot Noir grapes harvested from old vines, rooted in arillo-calcareous soils that enrich the wine with an intense elegant structure, maximizing the typicality and elegance of this grape variety.
Spontaneous fermentations in oak barrels, ensuring a natural vinification that respects the terroir. The long maturations on the lees and the minimalist approach, without clarification or filtration, offer the wine an extraordinary complexity. The minimum refinement of 24 months and a final dosage of less than 2 g/l make Le Cepage an Extra Brut.
On the nose, Le Cepage releases a refined bouquet of floral aromas intertwined with delicate toasted notes, which anticipate a fresh and balanced sip. On the palate, the wine stands out for its strong minerality, a savory structure and a long and enveloping persistence.
This Champagne Blanc de Noirs best represents the terroir of Verzy, with its typicality and finesse of the chalky soils, making it an ideal choice for those seeking an authentic and refined Champagne. The limited production and meticulous attention to detail make Le Cepage an irresistible option for enthusiasts and connoisseurs seeking a wine experience of great purity and elegance.
