Alfred Gratien Brut Millésimé 2016. This is a classic vintage Champagne from a ripe, refined year. This Brut captures the essence of Champagne’s terroir in outstanding years. Vinification and ageing reflect Alfred Gratien’s tradition, utilizing small oak barrels and avoiding malolactic fermentation, which emphasizes mineral transparency and freshness. With a fine lees texture and integrated toasty notes, it’s very harmonious.
