The “Prestige” Champagne Vesselle comes from the vineyards of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay cultivated on the calcareous-clay soils of the famous Grand Cru of Bouzy, located southeast of the Montagne de Reims area. At the end of the harvest, the separate vinification of the individual parcels is carried out to obtain the base wines. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Champenoise method, with a sur lattes aging of at least 36 months. In the glass, it presents a golden yellow color with brilliant reflections and is characterized by very fine and subtle bubbles. On the nose, it has a rich aromatic profile that offers fruity notes, hints of bread crust, toasted nuances, and shadowy undertones of underbrush. On the palate, it captivates with its good structure, rich and deep, with an enveloping and creamy sip, with a fresh, long and persistent.
