Grand Chardonnay

Paul-Louise Ammeux is the first half of the name, along with that of his brother Augustin, of a totally new project his family embarked upon in 2005. The family has a century and a half Champagne history linked to the Auguste Huiban brand, involving five generations and 15 hectares of land in Vallée de a Marne. The new brand was created to enhance the value of the Chardonnay from new vineyards acquired in 1998 in Fontaine sur Ay, not far from Tauxieres and Mareuil, where the soil is chalky and deep.

Vintage 2013 sat for nine years on the lees after being made in stainless steel with 10% maturing in wood. The dosage was 6g/l. Both rich and defined with vitality and fullness and notes of fresh hazelnuts and ripe citrus. The finish is saline with an aftertaste of brioche.
