Description

A vintage Blanc de Blancs champagne by Alfred Gratien

The estate

Alfred Gratien founded this eponymous house in 1864. Located in Épernay, at the heart of the Champagne wine region, the Alfred Gratien House has advocated for a rigorous selection of grapes and vinification in barrels as well as volume control to preserve the terroir’s original character and to exude all of the freshness of the wines.

Alfred Gratien Champagne is produced from a know-how which has been transmitted from father to son for multiple generations and which contributes to the unique style of the house’s cuvées.

The vineyard

Alfred Gratien House overlooks 1.56 hectares of vines within the Premier and Grand Crus of the Champagne wine region at the heart of the Côte des Blancs on the Reims Mountain.

An additional procurement is carried out for around 60 long-term partner producers.

Winemaking and ageing

Exclusive use of the first press. Since 1864, vinification has been entirely carried out in oak barrels of at least 4 previous wines. This method encourages the wines’ micro-oxygenation, conferring complexity and roundness. Plot-based vinification without malolactic fermentation to preserve the whole fruit and the characteristic liveliness of these wines with significant ageing potential.

Blend

The Blanc de Blancs Brut 2009 cuvée by Alfred Gratien is a 100% Chardonnay wine.
