Description
Blend : 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier. The base year is 2022, to which we have added the 2021, 2020 and 2019 vintages.
Vinification : fermentation and maturation of 90% of the wine is done in stainless steel and 10% in oak. The dosage is 7g/l of sugar.
Ageing : over three years of ageing on the lees.
SERVING RECOMMENDATIONS
Food pairings : perfect as an aperitif, but also excellent with a few Mimolette gougères or a velouté of porcini mushrooms with Mascarpone. Serve at 8-10°C.
Cellaring : best enjoyed young but has the quality to age well for a few years.
BEHIND THE LABEL
The genesis : Brut Origine was the first champagne Claude Mandois made when he joined the Champagne house in 1982, without the help of his father or grandfather.
The vision : the vinification and ageing are designed to create a wine that is both fresh and full-bodied.
The Cellar Master’s comments : the blending of the Brut Origine is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role as cellar master. The use of all three grape varieties, as well as the Reserve wines, gives us the widest range of options to stay as true to the Mandois house style as possible.
