The Falmet family has seven hectares of vineyards in the village of Rouvres les Vignes in Côte des Bar divided into 10 parcels. They are cultivated according to sustainable methods and are Terra Vitis certified. Since 1998, Jöel has been in charge of Champagne producted from the vineyards he inherited from his father, who had resumed winegrowing after his own father had abandoned the vineyards due to problems related to the two world wars.
Plenitude des Senses is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay based on the 2008 harvest with reserve wines representing 20%. The wine is fermented only in stainless steel and received a dosage of 4g/l. It is a sunny and wrapping Champagne with notes of plum and ripe pineapple, a little tangerine and white pepper. The mouthfeel is flowing yet pronounced with a harmonious finish that has a vibrant freshness and a nice persistence.
