Guillaume Sergent Premier Cru Les Prés Dieu Extra Brut Vrigny, Champagne 2020 100% Chardonnay

Guillaume is an oenologist, an expert in the science of wine and the techniques of wine making. His family have been growing vines around Vrigny since mid 19th century.

In 2008 he took over the family estate with his brother who sells his grapes to moet and chandon. These are serious grapes!

This champagne is a result of blending only Chardonnay grapes from two premier cru villages in Montagne de Reims, Champagne - Les Prés + Les Vignes Dieu.

Prominent flavours are vibrant apple with florals, salinity and brioche.

It is a true expression of the terroir - it spends only four months in oak as Guillaume doesn’t want the delicate notes to be overwhelmed. Sweetness of champagne explained
