Wine Description
The Story
Origin: Single parcel champagne from 0.5 ha 'Les Aventures' vineyard in Grand Cru Chouilly
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
In the heart of Champagne, in the village of Chouilly, one of the six prestigious villages on the Côte des Blancs to be classified as Grand Cru, at the foot of the Château de Saran, sits the lieu-dit known as 'Les Aventures', a special parcel that produces exceptional chardonnay due to the particularly chalky nature of the soil.
Each stage of the process to create Les Aventures respects the authentic character of this unique parcel. The chardonnay grapes are picked by hand. Pressing is done in one of our traditional 45-year old Coquard wooden presses. Vinification is done is small oak barrels of 225 litres.
Wine Information
Each release of Les Aventures is made by not only selecting the best vintages, but selecting the best vintages to complement each other, creating a wine defined by its unique character. This cuvée is a blend of 2008 and 2009.
Each bottle is aged in AR Lenoble’s chalk cellars under natural cork. The ambient humidity makes the cork porous, enabling particular exchanges between the air and the wine to create a very original wine.
