Les Cuteries is vinified and aged entirely in small oak barrels. About 10% is new oak. The wines were bottled in 2017 and remain on lees until the next disgorging. The current batch has been on lees for approximately five years.
What is a Millésime or Vintage Champagne?
A Millésime (or Vintage Champagne) is made from grapes from just one exceptional harvest year and is aged in the bottle for at least three years. This type of Champagne perfectly reflects the climatic conditions of that particular year and often has a more complex and layered character than a non-vintage Champagne.
What is Extra Brut Champagne?
Extra Brut Champagne contains even less sugar than Brut, between 0 and 6 grams per liter. This results in an extra-dry style with pure, pronounced flavors. Extra Brut is popular with connoisseurs who appreciate a clean, mineral champagne with plenty of freshness.
What is Blanc de Blancs Champagne?
Blanc de Blancs literally means "white from white grapes" and refers to Champagne made exclusively from white grapes, usually Chardonnay. This type of Champagne is known for its freshness, minerality, and vibrant acidity, often with notes of citrus, green apple, and brioche.
What dynamics does wood give to Champagne?
When Champagne is aged in oak barrels, it adds extra structure, roundness, and complexity. The oak provides subtle oxidation, making the Champagne richer and fuller, with aromas of vanilla, toast, honey, and spices. This is often used in Champagnes with long aging and deep flavors.
