Les Montants 2019 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Les Montants 2019 is a Blanc de Blancs champagne by Adrien Renoir. It's a cuvée that marries the chalky freshness of the Reims mountain with the aromatic amplitude of ageing in wood.

The 2019 vintage is one of the most beautiful in Champagne, with an almost idyllic season and superb grapes and moderate yields at harvest, offering beautiful aromatic concentration.

Les Montants 2019 is made from Chardonnay from the Grand Cru terroir of Verzy on the Montagne de Reims. Chardonnays from Verzy offer a very interesting balance between the minerality provided by the chalky soil, and aromatic richness.

This champagne is vinified in oak barrels and aged on lees. After bottling, the wine rests for 3 years in the house cellars. The bottles are then disgorged and very lightly dosed (0.8g/L).

Les Montantes 2019 Adrien Renoir has a brilliant golden color with silver highlights. Its bubbles are fine and lively.

On the nose, the first impression is of candied citrus fruits and fresh chalk, followed by richer, greedier notes of Viennese pastry.

On the palate, this champagne has an elegant attack, with a hint of nervousness, before giving way to a round, fruity mid-palate with a broad aromatic palette.

A perfect accompaniment to seafood or an aperitif with petits fours.
