Gatinois

The Champagne Gatinois is a renowned family Champagne home, located in the village of Aÿ, in the heart of the prestigious Champagne region, France.

The history of Champagne Gatinois dates back to 1696, when Nicolas François Gatinois planted his first vines at Aÿ. This symbolic date shows just how deeply rooted the Gatinois family is in Champagne viticulture. Over the generations, the family has carried on the winemaking tradition with dedication and excellence.

One of the house's key moments was the acquisition of the current property by Louis Cheval-Gatinois in 1921. Since then, the Cheval-Gatinois family has run the house with passion and determination, perpetuating Champagne's traditional production methods while embracing modern innovations.

The vineyard extends over 7 hectares of vines, mainly located on the slopes of Montagne de Reims. These vines benefit from ideal sun exposure and chalky soil, giving the grapes exceptional quality. The house grows mainly the region's classic grape varieties, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with a particular emphasis on Pinot Noir, which dominates its cuvées.

The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified with care for pRéserver their freshness and purity.... See more ...

Description Gatinois Tradition.

As with all Champagnes from Domaine Gatinois, the wines used to make Brut Tradition come exclusively from the family vineyard on Aÿ, a village classified Grand Cru. Pinot Noir (80%) provides power and fullness. Chardonnay (20%) completes the blend with a touch of tenderness and femininity. It should be noted that it contains a significant proportion of Réserve wines (30%), that the time on lath in contact with the yeasts is 2 years and that, after disgorging, a dosage of 7g/L is applied. This Grand Cru perfectly illustrates the strength and elegance that characterize this Aÿ terroir.

La robe is a deep gold with slight copper highlights, a foretaste of the richness of the blend. The nose opens with fresh notes of pear, lime blossom and lemon blossom. Warm, intense aromas of candied apricots, honey and warm bread soon follow. The palate is round and silky, with instant white-fruit fleshiness, lingering ripe wild berries and frank "toastiness" and hazelnut. The finish is deep, vinous, balanced by an elegant chalky minerality.

This Brut Tradition du Domaine Gatinois is a perfect aperitif companion, or even a whole lunch on the grass with salads and crunchy vegetables. For gourmands, pair it with a homemade rice pudding sprinkled with diced kiwi ... a treat!
