La Vallée Suspendue | Bottle 75cl

Description

La Vallée Suspendue from Champagne Gamet is an ode to the finesse of Meunier. It is a cuvée offering great aromatic complexity as well as beautiful vivacity.

The Making of La Vallée Suspendue Gamet Champagne

The La Vallée Suspendue champagne is mainly made from Meunier (80%), complemented by 15% Pinot Noir and 5% Chardonnay. The grapes come from the terroirs of Mardeuil, Fleury-la-Rivière, and Damery, terroirs with calcareous soils that bring intense minerality to this champagne. The base year of the cuvée is enriched by a variable proportion of reserve wine, from the perpetual reserve worked by the house since 1999. This blend gives La Vallée Suspendue remarkable depth and aromatic richness.

This champagne is entirely vinified and aged in barrels, a method that promotes a strong expression of aromas. Malolactic fermentation is carried out, adding roundness and additional complexity. The cuvée is then aged on the lees for a minimum of 5 years, allowing the wine to develop its aromas and refine its texture. With a very low dosage of 4 g/L, this Extra Brut remains true to its terroir, offering a pure expression of the grape varieties and the know-how of the Gamet house.
