Champagne Nature Grand Cru 'Graine d'Etoile' Lamiable

The Champagne Nature Grand Cru “Graine d'Etoile” from Maison Lamiable is the label of absolute purity, the one that best interprets the quintessence of the terroir in an essential and authentic way. The choice of a zero dosage, in fact, allows the wine to bring into the glass only the characteristics of the grapes and the precious limestone soils of Champagne, which give the typical chalky and iodized sensations loved by the finest connoisseurs. It is a bottle reserved for those who prefer a taut and vertical sip, clear and crisp, that leaves no room for easy fruity softness.

“Graine d'Etoile” is a Champagne Nature Grand Cru born from the experience and deep knowledge of the terroir of a family of vignerons, who have been cultivating grapes in Tours-sur-Marne for centuries. Maison Lamiable manages a small property of just over five hectares, divided into numerous parcels, located in very vocated terroirs, which allow for the production of grapes of excellent quality. The processes are carried out traditionally, according to the centuries-old savoir-faire of the territory. The champagne is born from some of the best vineyards of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on the estate, located in the Grand Crus of Bouzy and Tours-sur-Marne. At the end of the soft pressing, the musts of the two varieties are vinified separately. Only at a later stage is the blending of the vins clairs of the vintage carried out, with 40% of reserve wines from previous years. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Champenoise Method, with a four-year aging on the lees.

The Grand Cru Nature Champagne “Graine d'Etoile” from Maison Lamiable is a label from the classic collection that highlights a distinct personality. The zero dosage requires a starting raw material of the highest quality, which must naturally possess balance and harmony, without relying on external adjustments. Only the long aging time contributes to creating its character and essence. Thus, a Champagne is born with a crystalline yellow color with slight golden reflections and a fine and continuous perlage. Refined and elegant, it expresses notes of lime zest, orange blossom, fruit white and iodized and chalky notes. Clear and vertical, it has a deep and persistent sip, savory and long, finishing with notes of lively citrus freshness.
