Champagne Brut Blanc de Noirs Authentic Meunier Box da 6 bottiglie
This Champagne made from pure Pinot meunier has been produced by Michel Loriot's cellar since its foundation in the 1930s. As the name explains, it is a tribute to the Pinot meunier grape, which is the most cultivated in the Marne Valley and is distinguished by its intensely fruity flavor and by the roundness it gives to wines. Apollonis’ vineyards are found mainly in the village of Festigny, which is distinguished from the rest of the Marne Valley by a completely southern exposure and therefore higher temperatures and by a clayey marl soil with still a certain presence of chalk. It is considered one of the most interesting villages for Pinot meunier which is able to give concentrated and precise wines here. In addition, the vineyards of Michel Loriot are 35 years old and are managed with precision agriculture, strictly sustainable.
Music is played in the vineyard and in the cellar, as Michel Loriot is convinced that this contributes to the health of the plants and to the quality of wine evolution. The grapes are gently pressed to obtain a pure free-run must. This is clarified and then fermented in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. Yeasts and sugars are added to the base wine for the second fermentation in the bottle and the maturation on the lees in the bottle lasts for 24 months. Finally, it is dosed at the level of Brut.
