Champagne Pertois-Lebrun
L'égoïste 2014

The Champagne L'égoïste 2014 by Pertois-Lebrun is a Blanc de Blancs Millésime produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes harvested only from vineyards located in the renowned Côte des Blancs, more precisely in 3 villages classified as Grand Cru: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oiry and Chouilly. For this Champagne, fruit of the 2013 vintage, the vinification occurred in steel, and then it rested for 7 years in bottle on its own yeasts. This slow maturation allows it to fully express its aromas and the low dosage of only 2,5 g/l - making it an Extra Brut - preserves its characteristics.

The Champagne L'égoïste 2014 by Pertois-Lebrun is of remarkable class and structure: to the nose it has aromas of brioche, white fruits and almonds, while in the mouth the bubbles are silky and soft and the acidity is very fine. This Blanc de Blancs Millésime is perfect in combination with simple but high quality fish cuisine, like raw fish. Extremely limited production of only 2,072 bottles.

Champagne Pertois-Lebrun

Pertois-Lebrun is the story of five generations of Vignerons. The Pertois family began to produce and market their own Champagne in the early 1900s, but it was only in 1955 - following the marriage of Paul Pertois and Françoise Lebrun, winemaker from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger - that the Pertois-Lebrun brand was born. When they retired, the Domaine was taken over by one of their daughters, Odile. Today, her grandchildren, Clément and his younger brother Antoine - the fifth generation - are both the real protagonists and continue the important family know-how. Together they devote themselves to the meticulous care of their 44 vineyard plots, a fantastic collection of plots, located in the highest villages - classified as Grand Cru - in the Côte des Blancs: Cramant, Mesnil, Oger, Chouilly and Oiry. In order to produce an excellent Champagne, they cultivate sustainably with an eye to respecting the vines and the entire microbiological life of the soil. In their vineyards, they allow and encourage the penetration of root networks into the subsoil and the underlying chalky terroir, so that the Chardonnay grapes can achieve a magnificent aromatic concentration and rich minerality, which is then exquisitely expressed in their Champagnes Blanc de Blancs.
