ABOUT THIS WINE
The Maurice Grumier Reserve Perpétuelle Brut is a non-vintage Champagne from the Champagne AOC, produced by Maison Maurice Grumier. The estate's winemaking history dates back to 1743, with the current generation, Fabien and Hélène Grumier, upholding a commitment to ancestral know-how and modern precision.

The blend comprises equal parts Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, reflecting the family's vineyard holdings primarily in the Marne Valley. The Grumier family operates as independent vignerons (Récoltant Manipulant), dedicated to producing expressive Champagnes that reflect their terroir.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Maurice Grumier Reserve Perpétuelle Brut is produced using a solera system, a method initiated in 2005 that involves blending current vintage wines with a reserve of older vintages. Fermentation takes place in both stainless steel tanks and large oak barrels. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging on its lees for at least two years, a process that contributes to its complexity and texture. The estate cultivates 8 hectares of vines, primarily in the Marne Valley, with a focus on south-facing slopes. The Grumier family is committed to preserving heritage and the environment, with some vineyards holding High Environmental Value (HVE) certification.
