Champagne Secondé-Simon
Cuvée Millesime 2016

Champagne Millésime 2016 by Secondé-Simon is the result of the blending of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay coming from vineyards from the exclusive terroir of Ambonnay, a Grand Cru village in the Montagne de Reims.

Expression of a single vintage, this blend is the selection of the best "coeurs de cuvée". Sumptuous Champagne in which the pleasant freshness of Chardonnay is well balanced by the roundness of Pinot Noir.

This vintage cuvée is left to age for 3 years before being ready to reveal its full character. Dosage in the Brut parameters.

Champagne Millésime 2016 is a gastronomic Champagne, excellent as an aperitif or throughout a meal, it goes perfectly with meat but also with more elaborate fish dishes.

Champagne Secondé-Simon

The history of Champagne Secondé-Simon begins in 1983, when Jean-Luc Secondé, son of Champagne winemakers, together with his wife Catherine, decided to create his own Domaine in the village of Ambonnay, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims vineyards. Currently the Domaine has 6 hectares of exclusively Grand Cru vineyards and its management is entrusted to Jérôme Bôle and Nicolas Secondé, respectively son-in-law and son of Jean-Luc and Catherine Secondé.

Located in the cradle of the Champagne, the Ambonnay-Bouzy hill faces south/south-east and benefits from geological conditions and a microclimate ideal for the growing high quality grapes. The vines grow in fact on a hilly calcareous soil covered by a layer of chalky clay which in combination with the microclimate influences the character of the wines, which stand out for their identity and structure, and are particularly wanted by lovers of fine Champagne. It should be emphasized that the Domaine is one of the major suppliers of Pinot Noir grapes of the Krug Maison.

The Domaine Secondé-Simon is careful to the respect for the environment through biodynamic farming practices: since 2018 it has been certified HVE - Haute Valeur Environnementale, i.e. vineyards grown using the sustainable viticulture method and since 2019 it has been certified Viticulture Durable en Champagne.
