It's a refined blend dominated by fruity Pinot Meunier combined with the elegance of Chardonnay. VINEYARD The cuvées are created by blending the best crus from the three main regions (Côte des Blancs for the Chardonnay, Montagne de Reims for the Pinot Noir and the Marne Valley for the Pinot Meunier). GRAPE VARIETIES 60% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Meunier. VINIFICATION Alfred Gratien voluntarily limits its production to 250,000 bottles per year. The first fermentation takes place entirely in small 228 litre oak casks (champagne casks) and gives the champagne a vinous, flavoursome, balanced style. Alfred Gratien is one of the last remaining wine-makers to maintain this tradition. Malolactic fermentation is not used in the production of Gratien Champagne. This is in order to ensure that it maintains its original character. The aroma of the grapes and the land from which they came are thus preserved, and the wine retains its freshness, even as it ages. At Alfred Gratien, the vintages are sealed with wired corks (instead of metal crown caps) before being placed in the cellar. The permeability and flexibility of the cork allows small amounts of oxygen to penetrate into the wine, a process which is essential for successful maturation TASTING NOTE Light golden colour. Fine long-lasting bubbles. Pleasant aromas of citrus and stone fruits (apricots and peaches). A fresh and balanced palate with beautiful biscuit flavours. Very complex with a lingering fruit finish.  in stock.OUT OF STOCK Per Bottle £26.99 Quantity:   **sRecentPrefix** <br/><br/><div class="recenththeader"><input class="recenthtbuttonright" id="scrollbackrecent" type="button" value=" Next >>" onclick="ScrollBackRecent();"><input class="recenthtbuttonleft" id="scrollforwardrecent" type="button" value="<< Previous" onclick="ScrollForwardRecent();"><div style="text-align:center">Recently Viewed Products</div></div><br clear="all"/><table id="recenthtitem"> **sRecentImageRowPrefix** <tr><td class="recenthtitemspacer" rowspan=4> </td> **sRecentImageItem** <td class="recenthtitemimage"><a _HREF_="_SSURL_?PRODREF=_PID_&NOLOGIN=1" ><img border="0" src="_THUMB_" alt="_NAME_" /></a></td><td class="recenthtitemspacer" rowspan=4> </td> **sRecentImageRowSuffix** </tr> **sRecentDescRowPrefix** <tr> **sRecentDescItem** <td class="recenthtitemdesc"><a _HREF_="_SSURL_?PRODREF=_PID_&NOLOGIN=1" >_NAME_</a></td> **sRecentDescRowSuffix** **sRecentPriceRowPrefix** <tr> **sRecentPriceItem** <td class="recenthtitemprice">_PRICE_</td> **sRecentPriceRowSuffix** </tr> **sRecentDeleteRowPrefix** <tr> **sRecentDeleteItem** <td class="recenthtitemdelete"><a href="javascript:DeleteRecent('_PID_', true);"><img src="xit.jpg" border="0" /></a></td> **sRecentDeleteRowSuffix** </tr> **sRecentSuffix** </table> **sRecentEmptyList**
