This vintage cuvée aims to capture the highest expression of the Pinot Noir from the "La Montagne" vineyard, harvested around the first vineyards purchased by the Maison. Composed of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, the Vintage cuvée refines on the lees for an average of 4 years, followed by a rest of at least 6 months after disgorging to perfect the maturation. The power and maturity of Verzy’s Pinot Noir forge its identity, its intense fruity notes, of juicy pear and concentrated citrus fruits, almost candied, of acidulous red fruits. The wine is of intense yellow colour with golden, slightly amber reflections. Vibrant and intense effervescence, the Pinot Noir grapes reveal notes of acidic red fruits such as currant and blackberry, and juicy yellow fruits like mirabella plum, peach from the vineyard. With aeration, notes of dried fruits and smoked, along with those acidulous and spicy white pepper emerge. Dynamic, concentrated and powerful palate. Full-bodied and vinous texture, with an acidic presence that integrates with great naturalness. The structure is toned, chiseled, decisive and almost classical. The fruity aromas gradually give way to the sweetness of chocolate notes and slight hints of roasting. The finish reveals a concentrated, toasted and candied fruit, always supported by saline flavors that stimulate salivation, leaving a magnificent final feeling of lightness, generosity and elegance. Champagne Vintage Brut is a great wine for meditation, to be uncorked on important occasions. To fully appreciate the style, this champagne must be served at a service temperature of 8/10°C.
