Champagne Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs AOC "Les Vignes de Montgueux" - Jacques Lassaigne

Champagne Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs AOC "Les Vignes de Montgueux" - Jacques Lassaignele 

C"Les Vignes de Montgueux" by Jacques Lassaigne is a lively Champagne, with aromas of dried fruit and citrus, supported by a straightforward acidity and good minerality. Produced with Chardonnay grapes, the base wine is aged in wooden barrels for 12 to 24 months, followed by the second fermentation in the bottle with a long stop on the lees before disgorgement.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 8/10 ° in a balloon flute. Wine to be drunk immediately but will express its best in a few years.

Pairings

Champagne for the whole meal, from an appetizer to a fish main course, to be tried with candies stuffed with tomato branziono.

Cellar: Jacques Lassaigne

The Jacques Lassaigne maison is located in Montgueux, a village located a dozen kilometers north-west of Troyes. Since 1999 the maison has been managed by Emmanuel, Jacques' son, who cultivates just over 4.5 hectares, all planted with Chardonnay, the protagonist vine in this particular terroir characterized by a fundamental vein of chalk and limestone. Emmanuel carries out meticulous work in the vineyard, pursuing a non-interventionist viticulture, relying on biological and sometimes biodynamic principles. In the cellar, the grapes from the 9 owned parcels are vinified in different ways, the first fermentation takes place with only indigenous yeasts in steel or wooden containers. Emmanuel disgorges all bottles by hand, a very rare practice in Champagne where mechanization is the norm. Its wines are of extraordinary character and finesse. A great interpreter of this area so unique in Champagne.
