CHAMPAGNE OLIVIER PERE ET FILS Brut 'Cuvee Signature' (Recoltant-Manipulant) NV Vigneron MAGNUM

Description

Olivier Père Brut is a grower Champagne with 11 hectarse on the right bank of the River Marne just downstream from Epernay. Until very recently they have been selling all their fruit to famous houses, primarily Pol Roger but finally have decided to make their own Champagne. Their vineyards are on the steep, free-draining, south-facing slopes of the commune of Trélou-sur-Marne. The estate was created in 1910, and is now run by the fourth generation, brothers Bertrand and Julien. They believe in crisp, fresh, low dosage champagnes with complexity and character arising from extended ageing on the lees prior to disgorgement. Recoltant-Manipulant is a grower who makes champagne exclusively from their own grapes.
