The site is defined by shallow, calcareous-clay soils that are particularly well suited to Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, giving the wine structure, mineral depth and a strong sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend is composed of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Pinot Meunier. Each variety contributes a different dimension: Pinot Noir brings shape, depth and firmness, while Pinot Meunier adds fruit, suppleness and aromatic generosity. Together they create a full-flavored yet balanced expression of Blanc de Noirs Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation and aging take place in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrel. The wine remains for approximately six months in stainless steel and oak before bottling, with partial malolactic fermentation used to balance freshness and texture. It then spends approximately five years en tirage under natural cork, allowing the Champagne to develop additional complexity, depth and a refined mousse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2017 vintage was described by Yann Alexandre as a late year followed by a great summer that produced beautifully mature grapes. The resulting Champagne combines ripe fruit, structure and vinous intensity with the freshness and precision characteristic of the estate’s meticulous vineyard and cellar work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYann and Séverine Alexandre farm with a strong focus on biodiversity, healthy soils and careful manual work in the vineyard. The estate is certified sustainable by OCACIA, and Yann’s stated goal is to make Champagne as naturally as possible, using carefully grown fruit, minimal intervention and restrained sulfite additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a dosage of only 4 grams per liter, this is a dry, focused and gastronomic Champagne. Its combination of mature fruit, mineral tension, fine texture and extended lees aging makes it an excellent choice for the table as well as for contemplative drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePair with roast poultry, duck, veal, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, aged cheeses, grilled fish and other richly flavored savory dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier\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\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sous-les-Roses\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Courmas\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shallow calcareous-clay soils\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified Sustainable by OCACIA\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel and oak barrel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eÉlevage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately six months in stainless steel and oak barrel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMalolactic Fermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partial\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLees Aging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately five years en tirage under natural cork\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.0 g\/L\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResidual Sugar:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.0 g\/L\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.55 g\/L\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Blanc de Noirs Champagne\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"67","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52635187740955,"sku":"210000060680","price":96.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/yz3xh8a4gnj3ooftboqe.jpg?v=1784651449","url":"https:\/\/67wino.shop\/products\/yann-alexandre-sous-les-roses-blanc-de-noirs-2017-750ml-introductory-price","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
