The parcels are planted on a varied combination of calcareous-clay soils with stones, flint and sand, contributing freshness, mineral tension and complexity to the finished wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 base reflects Yann Alexandre’s meticulous approach to vineyard work and cellar craftsmanship. Each grape variety and vineyard parcel is vinified separately to preserve its individual character before the final blend is assembled. Pinot Meunier contributes generous fruit and suppleness, Pinot Noir adds structure and depth, and Chardonnay brings brightness, finesse and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation and aging take place in temperature-controlled stainless steel, allowing the purity of the fruit and the character of the vineyard sites to remain at the forefront. Malolactic fermentation helps soften the natural acidity and gives the Champagne a rounder, more harmonious texture. The blend also incorporates reserve wines, adding complexity, consistency and additional layers of maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine spends approximately five years on its lees in the Alexandre family’s cool cellar. This extended aging develops a fine, persistent mousse and adds subtle notes of brioche, toast and creaminess while maintaining the freshness and drive that define the estate’s style. Riddling and disgorgement are performed by hand, followed by a period of rest before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGreen apple and lemon combine with toasty and earthy elements, leading into an energetic palate with fine, firm tension and a long, chalky finish. Red-fruit and red-floral tones unfold over a creamy, mineral and tangy base. The wine is long, complex and beautifully balanced, combining richness with freshness and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYann and Séverine Alexandre farm their vineyards with a strong commitment to biodiversity, soil health and careful manual work. Their stated goal is to produce Champagne as naturally as possible from healthy, fully mature grapes, using minimal added sulfites and allowing the identity of each site and growing season to speak clearly through the glass. The estate is certified sustainable by OCACIA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis versatile and gastronomic Champagne is an excellent aperitif and a natural partner for grilled or roasted foods, chicken, curries, egg dishes, mushroom preparations, charcuterie and creamy cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase Vintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarieties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Montagne de Reims\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calcareous clay with stones, flint and sand\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified Sustainable by OCACIA\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Temperature-controlled stainless steel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eÉlevage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel before bottling\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReserve Wine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included in the final assemblage\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMalolactic Fermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLees Aging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately five years\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRiddling and Disgorgement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Performed by hand\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-vintage Brut Champagne\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver Award Winner, 2025; 92 Points, Decanter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"67","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52635185774875,"sku":"210000060676","price":64.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/i4h0a9ujn29zhffiukc3.jpg?v=1784651429","url":"https:\/\/67wino.shop\/products\/yann-alexandre-champagne-brut-noir-2020-base-750ml-introductory-price","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
