Description
Cultivation: Champagne Viellard-Millot is a family business, now in its 6th generation, with its vineyards located near the village of Ambonnay. The properties cover 2.23 hectares, consisting of 9 plots, managed with sustainable viticulture practices and without the use of insecticides. The winemaking and sparkling processes are carried out at the Centre Vinicole d’Ambonnay, and all the cuvées produced are labeled with the Grand Cru designation, ensuring extraordinary quality through patience and respect for tradition. In the cellar: manual harvesting, pressing for 100% first press juice (the cuvée); vinification and aging in steel, before bottling both for the base vintage (2016; 50%) and for the reserve wine (3 vintages). Malolactic conversion is completed and the wine remains on the lees in the bottle for at least 48 months. Disgorgement is carried out at least 6 months before release. Characteristics: intense golden yellow color with fine and delicate effervescence. On the nose, an immediate scent of licorice and moss with balsamic notes, pine, and resin. The palate is full and round, a Pinot Noir of great intensity, elegant, meaty, and spicy with a nice savoriness on a finish of cherries in spirit. Pairings: a decidedly gastronomic champagne excellent with duck breast, game, or a typical quiche lorraine. To be daringly paired in contrast with a cherry pie.
