Description
Champagne from Avenay-Val-d’Or, France
Pierre Morlet’s “Grand Reserve” is a Premier Cru Champagne at a fraction of the price of its peers. As bodied as a vintage Champagne, the Grande Reserve is appreciated through the different dishes of an entire dinner
Winemaker Notes:
The Grande Réserve blend is modeled after the classic base of the Cuvée Suivie, also representing all of the Morlet familyʼs terroirs of Premiers Crus Avenay-Val-dʼOr, Bisseuil and Mutigny and of Grand Cru Aÿ. Partially fermented in French oak “Demi-Muids” barrels – a rarity in Champagne – the Grande Réserve also aged one additional year in the deep caves. More mature flavors and aromas characterized the Grande Réserve which has built the Pierre Morlet reputation
