Champagne Soutiran 1er Cru Alexandre Brut

Now in the hands of the third generation of the Soutiran family, this small Champagne house proudly showcases the rich diversity and potential of the Champagne region. Rather than following the path of large-scale production, owners Valérie and Patrick create distinctive champagnes that are deeply connected to the terroir and artisanal traditions of the area. This Premier Cru Champagne is a careful blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, and 20% Pinot Meunier, having spent six long years aging on the lees in the family cellar. One of the cornerstones of the Soutiran winemaking philosophy, this extended aging process has created an exquisite, well-rounded Champagne with exceptionally fine bubbles. Designed to offer universal appeal and to be very easy to drink, the low dosage, crisp freshness, and full body of this Champagne make it an excellent pairing with foie gras, goat cheese, seafood, or tuna tartare. While it will benefit from a few more years of aging, this is an excellent Champagne to enjoy now. Blend: 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 20% Meunier, bottled in May 2021 with dégorgement in October 2023, base wine from 2020 with a portion of reserve from 2019.
