Champagne Cuvée Carat Brut Premier Cru NV
Vintage Character
Champagne Cuvée Carat Brut Premier Cru NV takes its character from the meeting of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with maturation playing a central role in the blend. Pinot Noir undergoes alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barrels, while Chardonnay is fermented in temperature-controlled tanks. This division gives the wine both structure and a fresher, more delicate component. The house describes a prolonged maturation of thirty-six months, followed by a dosage of seven grams per litre. These choices explain the combination of rounded richness, fine bubbles and a dry, carefully balanced finish that defines this non-vintage Premier Cru.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
A fresh, direct nose introduces the wine, followed by buttery and brioche-like aromas. The palate combines aromatic intensity with delicacy, keeping the impression of richness supported by a clear structure. Its fine mousse carries the flavours without obscuring the wine underneath, and the finish feels composed and gently firm. Serve it with chicken in a cream sauce or a veal chop with chanterelle mushrooms: both dishes pick up the savoury richness of the barrel-fermented component, while the bubbles refresh the palate.
Winery Background
Cuvée Carat was developed by Franck Peyrard with Emmanuel and Philippe Delescot at Edouard Brun, the Aÿ house founded in 1898. The project selects Premier Cru vineyards in Chigny-les-Roses, Ludes and Rilly, bringing together specific parcels and traditional cellar expertise. Its identity rests on this partnership between a dedicated selection and an established family producer. Careful blending and patient maturation connect the polished presentation with wines intended to show both substance and finesse, each offering a different expression within the three-part collection.
