ABOUT THIS WINE
Gremillet Millésime Brut 2015 is a single-varietal Champagne made from 100% Pinot Noir, a style known as 'Blanc de Noir.' The wine originates from Champagne J-M Gremillet, a family estate founded in 1979, now managed by the second generation. The vineyards are located in the Côte des Bar sub-region of Champagne, an area renowned for its Pinot Noir cultivation on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils. The 2015 vintage was notably warm and dry, influencing the wine's character.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
This Champagne is produced exclusively from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, a practice that defines it as a 'Blanc de Noir.' The grapes are sourced from the estate's vineyards in the Côte des Bar. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled vats, and only the first pressing, known as 'Cuvée,' is used. A significant aspect of its production is the extended aging process; the wine rests on its lees for a minimum of 36 months, with this specific 2015 vintage having undergone five years of such maturation. The dosage is set at 7 grams per liter.
