The Making of the Cuvée Paradis 2016 Alfred Gratien Champagne

The Cuvée Paradis 2016 is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, selected exclusively from Premiers and Grands Crus of Champagne. These grapes come from the most prestigious terroirs of the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs.

Faithful to its style, the house of Alfred Gratien proceeds with vinification in 228-liter oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop a rich and complex aromatic palette. Malolactic fermentation is blocked to preserve the freshness and natural liveliness of the grapes. After several years of aging in the historic cellars of the house, the Cuvée Paradis 2016 reveals a harmonious and refined expression, enhanced by minimal dosage that respects the identity of the vintage.
