Ployez-Jacquemart works their own predominantly Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier vineyards in the Premier and Grands Crus villages of Ludes and Mailly Champagne. Tremendous care is taken whilst working these vines by hand ; if necessary, they will even harvest “unripe” grapes to ensure the overall quality of the harvest. Long standing relationships with other wine growers, primarily in the Grands Crus Chardonnay villages helps them improve their “assemblage” and ensure consistency year on year.
“Bright gold. Sexy, smoke-tinged aromas of poached pear, melon and nectarine, with notes of vanilla and chalky minerals adding complexity. Offers sappy, deeply pitched orchard and pit fruit flavors and a suggestion of toasted brioche that builds on the back half. Finishes on a gentle nutty note, with excellent focus and length and a lingering floral quality”
