Champagne Grand Cru "Blanc de Noirs" Extra Brut - Rousseaux-Batteux
The Champagne Grand Cru "Blanc de Noirs" Extra Brut from Rousseaux-Batteux is a fascinating wine that embodies the expressiveness and complexity of Pinot Noir, grown in the prestigious Grand Cru area of Verzenay. The choice to make wine practically in oak barrels gives the wine a unique depth and character, enriching the aromatic bouquet with complex tones of ripe fruit and spices. The long maturation on the yeasts for approximately 20 months before disgorgement allows the champagne to develop a particular creaminess and finesse, while maintaining a lively freshness, typical of Extra Brut. The low sugar dosage, located between 5-6 g/l, further enhances the purity of the wine and its ability to express the unique terroir of the region.

The low sugar dosage, located between 5-6 g/l, further enhances the purity of the wine and its ability to express the unique terroir of the region. The combination of deep chalk-rich soils with clay and marl in this terroir helps to give the wine a distinctive minerality, which blends harmoniously with the fruitiness of the Pinot Noir, creating an elegant and persistent sip. The 5000 bottles produced make this champagne an exclusive choice for connoisseurs, reflecting the care and passion of the Rousseaux-Batteux maison in the creation of its wines.

Cellar: Rousseaux-Batteux
The history of the Rousseaux-Batteux family is an interesting example of a winemaking tradition that is passed down from generation to generation. Founded in 1920 by great-grandfather Paul, the winery has deep roots that lie in the history of Champagne and the experiences of ancestors, including difficult periods such as the First World War. The cellar, originally dug into the rock to protect students from bombing, is a reflection of the resilience and evolution that has characterized the history of Champagne production. Michel Rousseaux, Adrien's grandfather, further developed the company in the 1950s, laying the foundations for a business that is now run by Adrien, who took over the reins in 2012. Today, Domaine Rousseaux-Batteux extends over 2.6 hectares in the Grand Cru of Verzenay, a location known for the quality of Pinot Noir. The work in the vineyards is based on a philosophy of sustainable agriculture, without the use of pesticides and herbicides, which highlights a growing respect for the environment and soil health. Adrien's winemaking techniques, which include fermentations in oak barrels and steel tanks, are chosen to enhance the unique characteristics of his wines. This attention to the production process helps create champagnes that are not only powerful and expressive, but also possess considerable aging potential. Adrien Rousseaux is establishing himself as one of Champagne's emerging winemakers, carrying on a family tradition with a keen eye for modernity and innovation. His creations not only reflect his family history, but also a commitment to quality and sustainability, making him a protagonist of contemporary viticulture in this renowned region.
