Champagne J.M. Gobillard et Fils Tradition Brut

The grapes (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) are harvested exclusively by hand to preserve the integrity of the grape cluster and prevent spontaneous fermentation. Immediately after harvesting, the grapes undergo extremely gentle and progressive pressing in traditional or pneumatic presses. The resulting must is clarified and fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature.

It presents a bright straw yellow color with golden and brilliant reflections; the perlage is fine, dense and persistent. In the nose, fragrant notes of white fruit (crisp apple, pear) immediately emerge, followed by citrus nuances of grapefruit and lemon; in the second phase, notes such as bread crust, freshly baked brioche, fresh almond and a slight floral touch of lavender are revealed. In the mouth, the attack is decisive and fresh; the carbon dioxide is not aggressive; the bubbles melt on the palate, leaving a creamy and velvety texture. It concludes with a good persistence, leaving the mouth clean, savory and slightly mineral, inviting immediately to a second sip.
