Champagne L'Age Et La Raison - Maurice Choppin

Champagne L'Age Et La Raison - Maurice Choppin

Maurice Choppin's Champagne L'Age Et La Raison is born from an assembly of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, which come from old vines planted on a terroir with a strong presence of limestone in the village of Damery. Spontaneous fermentation, wood processing of the base wines, and 36 months of aging on the lees in the bottle. Champagne that on the nose veers on notes of flowers and herbs as well as a classic crust of bread; in the mouth it is fresh, with hints of exotic fruit, creamy and mineral. Dosage Extra-Brut.

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:  Maurice Choppin

The Domaine Maurice Choppin is located a few kilometers from Epernay, in the Vallée de la Marne. Last of 7 generations and son of Maurice, today it is the young Benjamin Choppin (together with his wife Marine) who leads the company with illuminating rigor. The Haute Valeur Environnementale certification (HVE 3) testifies to the desire to preserve an often mistreated terroir like that of Champagne, then there is the organic management of the vineyards and a strong presence of trees, meadows and wild flowers around them. If on the one hand, therefore, biodiversity is promoted and ecological issues are an absolute priority, on the other hand, in the cellar the distinctive feature is limited interventionism to preserve the purity and identity of the wines. Power, roundness and tension travel in balance and we are particularly liking these bottles. Benjamin has a vision of wine very similar to ours.
