Champagne La Demi Lune Bruno Michel 75 cl

Descrizione

History

Bruno Michel founded the maison that bears his name in 1980, after years of study and training, following only criteria of organic cultivation and respect for the vines and their fruits. In 1985 his wife Catherine also began to cultivate the same passion; the maison is located in Pierry, a few kilometers from Epernay, in the Marne Valley. The properties extend for 12 hectares consisting of 35 parcels, 50% cultivated with Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Meunier and the remainder with Pinot noir. The champagnes are rigorously assembled on site, in quarries dug in the chalk-limestone caves, where the refinement phase is also carried out; the latter are ideal places for the conservation of champagnes due to the constant humidity present in the latter.

Grapes used

Pinot Meunier 100%

Production method

It is produced according to the so-called methode champenoise or classic method, a method in which the wine substantially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which it shares with the rest of the wines) takes place in vats for fermentation; the second instead takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second procedure, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles when uncorked).

Alcohol content

12%

Tasting notes

Yellow-orange color with fine perlage. Notes of gooseberry, orange blossom, honey, Williams pear, bread crust and butter on the nose. On the palate it is extremely fine, with a nice acidity and fruity notes.

Possible combinations

Great drinking pleasure and immediacy are the two main characteristics of this champagne. Excellent in combination with fresh but tasty cheeses, or with raw or cooked fish dishes.
