2013 Georges Vesselle Brut Grand Cru

Place: Champagne, France

Variety: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay

Farming: Sustainable

From Grand Cru vineyards in Bouzy they craft a Champagne with depth and power. Generous flavours and long finishing. Georges Vesselle uses 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay. The deep, chalky subsoil is the key to the quality of the Georges Vesselle Champagnes.

At the foot of the Montagne de Reims, Domaine Georges Vesselle has 17 hectares. The Georges Vesselle holdings are spread halfway up the hillside around the village, the exposition being perfect to ensure optimal wine quality. All of their vineyards are Grand Cru which shows in the final quality.

Composed by 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay without the addition of liqueur expedition, the 15 years old vineyards are located around Bouzy, with well drained soils rich in clay and limestone. Fermentation is done in steel tanks at controlled temperature, whereas aging on lees lasts at least 50 months before disgorging. A Milleseme with Brut nature dosage which expresses in an exponential way the quality of this cuvée, rich of fruity scents in which Pinot Noir gives great finesse and power whereas Chardonnay gives freshness and vivacity thus creating a perfect balance.
