Robert Moncuit Reserve Perpetuelle
100% Chardonnay Dosage: 3g/l Vinified in oak barrels With malolactic fermentation Robert Moncuit started the Réserve Perpétuelle, which is always replenished with wines from the new vintage, in 2006. This cuvée, which is created in a similar way to the Solera process, is also 100% Chardonnay from Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger. Malolactic fermentation is not stopped. Each year, about 40 percent is removed and bottled. The duration of yeast aging is about five years. The style is complex and elegant, very finely balanced with three grams of dosage. Brioche and lime blossoms, on the palate the Réserve Perpétuelle makes proper pressure, has mineral traction and a lot of charm. High level.

Framed Map Avize Grand Cru Plastic Frame
Mapping Champagne by Charles Curtis (Master of Wine) & Steve De Long The great wine cartographer Louis Larmat produced the only detailed maps of Champagne in the 1940s.Charles Curtis (MW) and Steve De Long are now engaged in a modern update and expansion of Larmat's pioneering work to add to the collection. So that the wonderfully designed maps can also be admired in our country, Champagne Characters has imported these copies directly from the USA. The card is mounted in a high-quality plastic frame with a passe-partout. Enclosed is an accompanying Avize Grand Cru brochure, which offers a tour of the village's terroir and its unique wines, a complete list of the lieux-dits grown (or partially grown) in the commune, and a directory of its winemakers.
