2017 Bérêche Et Fils "Aÿ" Grand Cru, Champagne, FranceABOUT THIS WINE This special grand cru from 40+ year old vines hails from the "champagne of kings" region, A. These older vines have strong complexity that gives a firm structure to the mix of Pinot Noir (80%) and Chardonnay (20%). This wine ages on lees for 78 months before disgorging. Expect a spectacular creamy texture and very fine velvet bubbles. The dosage is 4g L which allows the stone and chalk of the terroir to shine through without masking
