ABOUT THIS WINE
Cuvée Louis is a Premier Cru Brut Champagne from Elodie D., a producer with a winemaking heritage in Écueil, Montagne de Reims, dating back to 1692. The wine is primarily composed of Pinot Noir (94%) with a small addition of Pinot Gris. The vineyards are managed with environmental cultivation practices, including organic certification and horse-drawn plowing. The vinification involves reserve wines aged in oak foudres and the current harvest aged in tanks and barrels, contributing to the wine's structure and suppleness.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Cuvée Louis is crafted using a blend of reserve wines, with a significant portion aged in oak foudres. The current harvest's 'tête de cuvée' is fermented in tanks, while the Pinot Gris component is aged in barrels. Following secondary fermentation, the wine rests on its lees for five years, a process that contributes to its development and texture. The dosage is Brut, with 6g/L of residual sugar.
