A wonderful introduction to the range – heavy on the citrus and white floral elements. There’s a lovely vail of nutty, nougat complexity. Nice spice detail. The plate is fresh and clean with some dried stone fruits through the finish.
Located in Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne Pertois-Moriset has been, from its beginnings an independent family-run estate that produces wine of the highest order! The history of the family business began with the marriage between Yves Pertois and Janine Moriset, son and daughter of two former wine-growing families of the Côte des Blancs. In 1951, the couple decided to create the winery, Pertois-Moriset, which continued its development when their son Dominique and his wife Florence joined them. Today, it is their granddaughter Cécile and her husband Vincent who currently manage the property. The vineyard has a surface area of 18.60 hectares and is distributed in two areas: The Côte des Blancs, of approximately 12 hectares of Grand Cru Chardonnay in the legendary villages of Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant and Chouilly. In addition to this they have land in the Coteaux Sézannais, of approximately 6.50 hectares, with around 60 % Pinot Noir and 40 % Chardonnay.
