The Making of the Brut Millésimé 2015 Alfred Gratien Champagne

The Brut Millésimé 2015 is the result of a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, and 25% Pinot Meunier. The 2015 vintage, marked by a hot and dry summer, allowed optimal maturation of the grapes, offering a perfect balance between aromatic richness and freshness.

Each grape variety is vinified separately in 228-liter oak barrels to develop the aromatic complexity and structure of the wine. True to its philosophy, the house of Alfred Gratien preserves the natural tension of the grapes by blocking malolactic fermentation. After a decade of aging in the house's cellars, the Brut Millésimé 2015 reveals its full potential, enhanced by a subtle dosage that respects the purity of the vintage.
