The Making of Les Montants 2020 Adrien Renoir Champagne

Les Montants 2020 is crafted from Chardonnay grapes exclusively sourced from the eponymous lieu-dit in Verzy Grand Cru. The plot, certified organic since 2020, sits on chalky soil that imparts a vibrant minerality and great elegance to the wine. After meticulous manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed before being vinified in oak barrels. This method preserves the integrity of the aromas and offers remarkable aromatic complexity.

Complete malolactic fermentation adds a subtle roundness to this vintage. After bottling in July 2021, the wine ages on its lees for several months, providing depth and texture. Finally, with minimal dosage of 1 g/L, this Extra Brut champagne highlights all the purity and richness of its terroir.

The 2020 Vintage

The 2020 vintage was marked by exceptional climatic conditions. Following a mild winter and an early spring, the hot and dry summer allowed perfect ripening of the grapes. The harvest, carried out at optimal maturity, produced concentrated and balanced clusters. The Chardonnays from this year exhibit saline and airy notes, with perfectly integrated acidity. This unique vintage beautifully illustrates the finesse and freshness characteristic of Verzy wines.
