PETITE CHAMPAGNE N°1

ORIGINATING FROM AN OLD FAMILY OF WINEMAKERS FROM SEGONZAC, IN THE HEART OF GRANDE CHAMPAGNE, GÉRARD JOUANNET CULTIVATES A DEEP CONNECTION WITH THE LAND THAT RAISED HIM. THIS WINEMAKER, PASSIONATE ABOUT HISTORY, CELEBRATES THE MEMORY OF HIS ANCESTORS THROUGH A VITICULTURE PRACTICE THAT EXPRESSES HIS LOVE FOR THE VINE AND HIS RESPECT FOR TRADITIONS AND ANCESTRAL KNOW HOW. THIS EXCLUSIVE PETITE CHAMPAGNE UGNI BLANC, AGED IN A DRY CELLAR AND DISTILLED FOR THE BICENTENNIAL OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION, ORIGINATES FROM A QUAINT HILLSIDE KNOWN LOCALLY AS "COTEAU DE LA JUSTICE." ITS NAME HARKS BACK TO A BYGONE ERA WHEN THE LOCAL LORD, DISPENSING JUSTICE, PRESIDED OVER THE MILL THAT STILL OVERLOOKS THE VINEYARD TODAY.

THE WINE PRESENTS AN AMBER HUE AND OFFERS A BOUQUET OF VEGETAL AND FLORAL NOTES REMINISCENT OF LITCHI AND LILAC, FOLLOWED BY SMOKY AND SUBTLY MUSKY UNDERTONES AKIN TO CEDARWOOD AND CINNAMON. ON THE PALATE, THE EXPERIENCE IS SPICY, CONCLUDING WITH A SWEET VANILLA FINISH AND AN HERBACEOUS, BALSAMIC FACET REMINISCENT OF VERMOUTH.
