A seconda del punteggio ottenuto, veniva stabilita anche la percentuale di remunerazione rispetto al prezzo massimo: le uve dei Grand Cru vengono pagate al 100%, quelle dei Premier Cru tra il 90% e il 99%, mentre le restanti si collocano tra l’80% e l’89%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSono solo 17 i comuni a potersi fregiare del titolo di Grand Cru: nella Montagne de Reims troviamo Ambonnay, Beaumont-sur-Vesle, Bouzy, Louvois, Verzy, Mailly-Champagne, Puisieulx, Sillery e Verzenay; nella Vallée de la Marne figurano Aÿ e Tours-sur-Marne; nella Côte des Blancs si distinguono Oiry, Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Oger e Mesnil-sur-Oger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGli Champagne provenienti da questi territori sono tra i più apprezzati in assoluto, ricercati sia dai collezionisti che dagli amanti delle bollicine di alta qualità.

Where the Tradition balances Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in an elegant, approachable three-vintage cuvée, the Prestige focuses entirely on absolute purity: 100% Pinot Noir from Bouzy Grand Cru, vinified as a white wine to create a blanc de noirs of extraordinary depth and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e Blanc de noirs is one of the most fascinating and difficult styles to produce in Champagne - making a white wine from red-skinned grapes requires extremely rapid, gentle pressing to prevent any colour extraction. The result is a Champagne with the structure, power and aromatic depth of Pinot Noir - Bouzy's signature variety - presented with the clarity and elegance of a blanc. A wonderful oenological oxymoron that only the finest Meunier and Pinot Noir récoltants truly know how to create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAurélien Dauvergne works in Bouzy, one of the most respected Grand Cru villages in the Montagne de Reims, classified at 100% - the highest level on Champagne's Grand Cru scale. The vineyards' chalk and limestone soils produce Pinot Noir of exceptional concentration and minerality, with the typical roundness and depth of fruit that set Bouzy wines apart from any other Grand Cru in the region. The grapes are vinified as a white wine with alcoholic and malolactic fermentation; reserve wines are added to ensure complexity and consistency, and the final cuvée undergoes bottle fermentation using the classic méthode champenoise. It matures on its lees for 36 months - three times the minimum for non-vintage Champagne - developing rich, layered autolytic complexity. After disgorgement, the wine rests for several additional months in the bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOn the nose it is richer, deeper and more structured than the Tradition: quince, ripe yellow peach, apricot, buttered brioche, hazelnut paste, acacia honey, yellow flowers and an intense, persistent chalky minerality that speaks directly of Bouzy's soil. On the palate it is creamy and enveloping - the bubbles are exceptionally fine and persistent, the body is full and generous thanks to the purity of the Pinot Noir, the acidity is precise and vertical, and the finish is long and complex, with successive waves of yellow fruit, yeast, minerality and a hint of toasted caramel. Serve at 8-10°C in a tulip-shaped glass to express its full aromatic complexity. At €40 for a Grand Cru blanc de noirs from a récoltant with 36 months on the lees, it is simply one of the best buys available in the premium Champagne category.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emporio Divino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58271566266742,"sku":null,"price":41.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/2717\/0166\/files\/franciacorta-millesimato-rizzini_1.jpg?v=1784052635"},{"product_id":"champagne-grand-cru-tradition-aurelien-dauvergne","title":"Champagne - Grand Cru - Tradition - Aurélien Dauvergne","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be15b89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-product-description elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be15b89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"product-description.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAurélien Dauvergne's Grand Cru Tradition Brut Champagne is one of those wines that changes the way you view the world of Champagne - not the product of a major house with millions of bottles and enormous advertising budgets, but that of a grower-producer in Bouzy, one of the most respected Grand Cru villages in all of Champagne, who cultivates his own vineyards, makes the wine in his cellar, and bottles it under his own name. The difference between a house Champagne and a grower Champagne is the same as that between an industrial wine and an artisanal wine - except that in the world of Champagne, this distinction is still less well known than it deserves to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAurélien Dauvergne works in Bouzy, a Grand Cru village on the Montagne de Reims, historically considered one of the finest terroirs for Pinot Noir in all of Champagne. The vineyards' limestone and chalky soils produce Pinot Noir of exceptional structure and depth - and this is immediately apparent in the glass. The blend strongly favors Pinot Noir at 80%, with 20% Chardonnay bringing freshness and aromatic finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe winemaking is meticulous: grapes from the best parcels are vinified separately by grape variety and individual parcel, then blended into a cuvée that combines three different vintages - a technique that ensures consistency of style from year to year while retaining the complexity that comes from multiple vintages. After alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, the base wines mature in steel to preserve freshness, then are blended and bottled for the second fermentation. Maturation on the lees lasts around 36 months - three times the minimum required for non-vintage Champagnes - developing the autolytic complexity of brioche, puff pastry, and toasted nuts that is the signature of great artisanal Champagnes. After disgorgement, the wine rests for several additional months before being released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOn the nose, it is elegant and layered: yellow apple, pear, candied citrus, freshly baked brioche, almond paste, white flowers, and a subtle mineral hint of chalk and flint that is the unmistakable signature of Bouzy's chalky soils.
