Origin
The vineyards, situated in the southern reaches of Troyes achieve greater ripeness which leads to a richer fruit and classic baked biscuit flavours mixed with characteristic toasty yeast overtones. Only the first, lightest pressings are used, as is usual for fine Champagne. Classic slow second fermentation in bottle followed by maturing on the lees for at least 22 months before being disgorged and released for sale.
Producer
The Gremillet estate was founded by Jean-Michel Gremillet in 1979 when he inherited a small plot of vines from his mother, Lulu. Today, the house possesses 55 hectares of vineyards and is situated in a small village 45 kilometres from Troyes – the historic capital of Champagne – and 180 kilometres south of Reims.
