Alexandre Penet
The family has been winemakers for 4 centuries, but Domaine was only acquired in 1930 by the Penet brothers, Gilbert and Désiré. Following a marriage, Domaine will be renamed Penet- Chardonnet.
Since 2008, Alexandre Penet (Gilbert's great-grandson) and his wife Martine have watched over the 6 ha of Grand Cru classified vines of Montagne de Reims, 5 at Verzy and 1 at Vernezay.
The Champagnes all have a strong personality; this is due to blending with wines from Réserve from a "perpetual Réserve" (identical to a solera system).
Since 2011 Alexandre Penet has also been making cuvées for the trade under its own name, full of character and finesse, all in Extra-Brut or Brut nature.
Description Alexandre Penet Extra Brut Magnum.
Find Champagne Alexandre Penet in magnum format.
This cuvée Extra-Brut (6g/L), 50% pinot noir 25% meunier 25% chardonnay, is made from Grand and Premier Cru grapes whose wines, after partial aging in oak barrels for 8 months, will be blended with the House's perpetual Réserve (30%).
This is a Champagne of great balance.
The nose presents aromas of citrus, pear, apricot and spices, while the gourmet palate is marked by sweetness and a slight minerality.
On the finish the hint of oxidation is balanced by great freshness (reinette apple).
This well-balanced cuvée is perfect as an aperitif, so don't avoid the gougères!
For the table, offer it with a poultry supreme with morels.
