NV Charpentier Champagne Tradition Brut

The NV Charpentier “Tradition” Brut Champagne is a classic Marne Valley Champagne, made from 80% Pinot Meunier, 15% Chardonnay, and 5% Pinot Noir.

The blend draws heavily on Pinot Meunier, giving the wine its generous fruit and supple character, while Chardonnay adds freshness and Pinot Noir provides structure. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks with malolactic fermentation, it is blended with 20–40% reserve wines and aged on the lees before disgorgement.

The nose is fresh and inviting, showing pear, green apple, white peach, citrus, and lightly toasted notes, with hints of brioche and almond developing from lees aging.

On the palate it is round and creamy, with fine bubbles, refreshing acidity, and flavors of orchard fruit and citrus supported by a subtle chalky minerality and a clean, persistent finish.

An approachable, food-friendly Champagne that works beautifully with oysters, shellfish, fried seafood, charcuterie, soft cheeses, and light appetizers.
