Aime Cartier Brut Premier Cru

This brut champagne is light and delicate, pale golden in colour and has a lovely complexity. It is harvested by hand with whole bunch pressing and horizontally aged in traditional chalk cellars for at least 24 months with a further two months before being shipped. The chalk cellars help the champagne evolve slowly by providing it with an atmosphere of C0² and protecting it from oxygen and light. This is a well-balanced, easy drinking champagne that is perfect as an aperitif.

Blend: 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay. Selected from the best that this 18 hectares domain has to offer. Between 20% and 40% of reserve wines are used to ensure consistency.

Tasting Notes: Delicate nose, very fresh, lovely complexity. Fresh and supple on the palate. The first impression is of fresh green apples with a hint of white flowers and hazelnuts. Well balanced and good length.

Serve with: White meat in a cream sauce or veal with a julienne of vegetables.

Perfect gift for an 18^th or 21^st birthday for him or, when paired with the Amie Cartier Rose Premier Cru, an anniversary or wedding present.
