Legacy in a Glass: Denis Salomon Histoire de Famille Extra Brut
The Denis Salomon Histoire de Famille Extra Brut Champagne is a distinguished expression of the Vallée de la Marne's terroir, crafted exclusively from 100% Pinot Meunier grapes. This cuvée is a testament to the Salomon family's five generations of winemaking expertise.
Tasting Notes:
In the glass, it presents a pale straw-yellow hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is an inviting bouquet of floral notes and citrus aromas, complemented by subtle hints of yeast, indicative of its meticulous aging process. On the palate, the wine is fresh and balanced, offering a creamy texture and a persistent finish that reflects its extended lees contact. The dosage is kept low, enhancing the purity and authenticity of the fruit.
Winemaking Process:
The base wine is vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by a light filtration. It undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle according to the traditional method and is aged on the lees for 30 months, contributing to its complexity and depth.
Food Pairing:
This Champagne is versatile, pairing beautifully with a variety of dishes. It is particularly well-suited as an aperitif and complements starters, seafood, shellfish, and cheeses.
Serving Suggestions:
For optimal enjoyment, serve at a temperature of 6–8°C. With a potential aging window of 5–10 years, this Champagne offers a delightful experience both now and in the years to come.
