Champagne

The Premier Cru denomination represents a recognition of superior quality in the production of Champagne. These wines come from communes whose terroir has been evaluated and classified for its exceptional contribution to the quality of Champagne. The soils, often calcareous and rich in mineral elements, are found in optimal positions which ensure adequate exposure to the sun and ideal ripening of the grapes. Premier Cru Champagnes are renowned for their perfect balance between acidity and sweetness, resulting complex but harmonious on the palate. The grape varieties used, mainly Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier , are grown with methods that respect tradition and the environment, guaranteeing a superior quality wine. These Champagnes offer a rich aromatic range, with notes ranging from fruity to floral, with subtle nuances of spice and hazelnut, reflecting the uniqueness of their terroir. Producers such as those in Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs , where many of the communes classified as Premier Cru are located, are custodians of a winemaking legacy that continues to shine on the international wine scene.
