Pertois-Moriset L'Assemblage 750ml
Champagne - 1. Assemblage - 750ml - 178 ILS
The historic house cuvée, blending 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay from the Coteaux Sézannais villages of Sézanne, Barbonne-Fayel, Chantemerle, Bethon and Montgenost. The deeper clay-chalk soils give it more fruit and breadth than the estate’s Côte des Blancs Champagnes. Approximately 70–80% current-vintage wine is combined with 20–30% perpetual-reserve wine. Current wines are raised principally in stainless steel; reserves are stored in stainless steel and large oak vats. Minimum 15 months on lees and a recent dosage around 1–1.5 g/L. Rounded and approachable, with pear, green apple, peach, white currant and citrus, developing almond, biscuit and brioche. Pinot Noir adds body and light red-fruit notes, while Chardonnay and the very low dosage produce a fresh, clean finish., describing pear, peach, white currant, light cherry and biscuit, with fresh acidity and yellow-apple fruit.
