Alfred Gratien

A family-run Champagne house since 1864! If exception has a name it's certainly Champagne Alfred Gratien. The Champagnes from Alfred Gratien are hand-sewn Champagnes, a guarantee of quality and uniqueness. 

At the heart of the Champagne vineyards, you have to stray a little from downtown Epernay to reach the Champagne Alfred Gratien cellars. It was here, on rue Maurice Cerveaux, that Alfred Gratien set up shop and created its first cuvées in 1864. For more than a century and a half, Champagne Alfred Gratien has remained in the family, perpetuating the know-how of its founder.

Description Alfred Gratien Cuvée Paradis Brut 2015.

The year 2015 offered us a hot, Sec summer that caused water stress, but fortunately some welcome rains in August revived the progression of ripeness.

The pinot noir (65% here) suffered less than the chardonnay (35%), which was much more heterogeneous, ranging from vegetal for a harvest that was too early, to heavy for one that was too late.

The cuvée Paradis 2015 is a cuvée that represents all the expertise of the Alfred Gratien cellar master and the vigilance brought to the selection of the grapes from this 2015 harvest.

Faithful to the house's principles, vinification took place in 228L barrels, without malolactic; as for dosage it's 8g/L.

This Champagne, at La robe luminous yellow gold, opens immediately with intense eXOtic aromas, grapefruit, pineapple, coconut and mimosa.

The attack is frank, dynamic, then the gourmand side comes out with vanilla, warm brioche.

The finish is also warm and finishes on chalk and salt, markers of a great capacity é for ageing.

For now, you can pair it with lobster or cod in citrus sauce.
