Alfred Gratien
A family-run Champagne house since 1864! If exception has a name it's certainly Champagne Alfred Gratien. The Champagnes from Alfred Gratien are hand-sewn Champagnes, a guarantee of quality and uniqueness.
At the heart of the Champagne vineyards, you have to stray a little from downtown Epernay to reach the Champagne Alfred Gratien cellars. It was here, on rue Maurice Cerveaux, that Alfred Gratien set up shop and created its first cuvées in 1864. For more than a century and a half, Champagne Alfred Gratien has remained in the family, perpetuating the know-how of its founder.
Description Alfred Gratien Blanc de Blancs 2015.
Vintage 2015, sourced in part from Grands Crus for the most part from the vines of Avize and Cramant.
A golden color heralds freshness and ripeness.
The effervescence presents itself in a myriad of fine bubbles that produce a beautiful luminosity and feed a complete cordon on the surface.
The first nose is open and particularly complex.
Notes of white fruit appear first, then give way to aromas of brioche and buttered toast.
On a background of The attack on the palate is supple and broad.
The attack on the palate is supple and broad. What strikes next is the quality of the cuvée's texture, an unctuosity that combines consistency of substance, velvety caress and sapid freshness.
The warm vinosity of the year is perfectly controlled by the delicious acidity and barely underlined by the dosage of liqueur.
The finish is long, very tender and leads into a saline minerality.
This very fine Vintage 2015 offers a wine of great quality with real aging potential.
Wine and food pairings: at the table, it will enjoy the company of the most tender textures (langoustines, sea urchins, veal sweetbreads, veal grenadin, beef tenderloin).
This is a very good Vintage 2015
