Champagne Selection Ch. de L'Auche

Champagne Selection Ch. de L'Auche is a high-quality sparkling wine from the Champagne region in northeastern France. This region is famous for its cool, wet climate, which is ideal for producing high-quality sparkling wines. The soil is characterized by a chalk substrate, which provides excellent drainage and helps give the wine its characteristic mineral flavor. The vineyards from which Lo Champagne Selection Ch. de L'Auche comes are planted primarily with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. These grape varieties are the most common in Champagne production and help give the wine its complexity and depth of flavor. The process of making Champagne Selection Ch. de L'Auche begins with the harvesting of the grapes, which usually takes place in September. The grapes are then gently pressed to extract the juice, which is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is bottled with added yeast and sugar to start the second fermentation in the bottle, which gives rise to Champagne's characteristic bubbles. The wine is then left to mature on the lees for a period ranging from 15 months to several years, depending on the desired quality. During this period, the wine acquires complexity and depth of flavor through the process of yeast autolysis. Finally, the bottles undergo remuage, a process that involves slowly rotating the bottles to settle the yeasts on the cork, which are then expelled through dégorgement. Champagne Selection Ch. de L'Auche is an elegant and refined wine with notes of white fruit, flowers and yeast. Its lively acidity and fine effervescence make it a perfect accompaniment for appetizers, fish and seafood.
