Brut Reserve Bernard Gaucher
Bernard Gaucher's Champagne Brut Réserve is a blanc de noirs; its strong point is the precision of execution, that aims at focusing on a fruity and balanced taste. The vineyards are located in the French department of Aube, in the heart of the "Côte des Bar", in particular in the villages of Arconville, Urville and Ailleville. The soil is formed by a stratification of clayey and calcareous marl. All operations in the vineyard are carried out manually from pruning to harvest.
The grapes are gently pressed to obtain an absolutely clear and delicate free-run must. It is fermented in steel vats at a controlled temperature. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the traditional method and the sparkling wine ages on the lees for at least 15 months.
