Champagne Maurice Grumier "Les Plates Pierres" Extra Brut 2016

The fermentation takes place immediately after the harvest to extract only the must, that is, the most noble and qualitative part of the juice. A significant portion of the base wines ferments and ages in oak barrels. Depending on the characteristics of the vintage, partial malolactic fermentation is avoided.

60 months on yeast

Bright and luminous golden yellow with golden reflections, fine perlage, numerous and persistent. On the nose, clear notes of baked apple, grapefruit, fresh citrus fruits and nuances of white pulp fruit are perceived; subsequently, hints of bread crust, pasta fava, fresh butter, toasted hazelnut and delicate hints of sweet spices or verbena are perceived. On the palate it is dry, straight and taut, supported by a sharp and crunchy acidity that gives great momentum, of medium-structured body, has a sweet, fleshy and deep mouthfeel. The finish is long, clean, markedly mineral and citrusy, with a return of dried fruit and chalk.
