Champagne Ployez-Jacquemart NV Extra Quality Brut

This Champagne is mineral driven, with some brininess, fruit flavors of crunchy green apple, and black raspberry, completed with brioche and marzipan flavors. The finish is bright, driven by firm, lemony acidity.

Based on the 2018 vintage. All fruit comes from 1er Cru and Grand Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and Côtes des Blancs. A blend of 1/3 each Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay. Aged for a minimum of five years before release. Extra Brut dosage. 

Laurence Ployez is a third-generation winemaker at her family's estate, which was established in 1930. Ployez-Jacquemart owns 3.5 hectares of Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards in Ludes and Mailly-Champagne in the Montagne de Reims, known for its classic chalk slopes; in addition, Laurence purchases Premier Cru and Grand Cru grapes from 12 hectares of vineyards from growers that the family has worked with for three generations.  Farming is organic or HVE certified depending on the parcel. All of the work in the vineyards is done by hand, from the beginning of the growing season until the grapes are harvested.
