Gardet Champagne Brut HALF

This wine, made from 90% black grapes from across the entire Champagne region, is a perfect representation of its origins. A model non-vintage Brut, emblematic of the Gardet House, with the savoir-faire to preserve its style and maintain the mark left by the history of the house. And, it is incredibly, wonderfully, richly, divinely good!

TASTING NOTE:

Altogether fresh on the nose, the palate fills and richens with every sip, a sign of the extra mature wines added – the palate grows in the glass and seems more expressive and elegant, with a full-bodied consistency, fine acidity and a balance between creamy roasted nut and brioche flavours and bold, steely acidity. 

45% Pinot Noir, 45% Pinot Meunier, 10% Chardonnay

HOUSE

Gardet was established in 1895 by Charles Gardet in Epernay. In the 1930s, his son, Georges Gardet, continued the family tradition by moving to Chigny-les-Roses to develop the Champagne Gardet brand. It was sold to the Prieux family in 2007. The Prieuxs have invested in the business, but wisely retained the features of the style of wine made over the years, only slightly refining it to be a little more forward-drinking with more fruit freshness and balance. The house owns around 7 ha of premier cru vineyards around their home villages of Chigny-Les-Roses, Ludes and Rilly la Montage. The long tirage time and the use of a high proportion of reserve wine has marked the house style, and in fact is a distinguishing feature of Champagne Gardet.
