Champagne Pertois-Lebrun
Derrière Le Mont Aigu N°13

The Champagne Derrière Le Mont Aigu N°13 by Pertois-Lebrun is the Blanc de Blancs symbol of the Domaine, produced from a single parcel of Chardonnay and a single vintage 2013. The Lieu-Dit Derrière Le Mont Aigu is an old vineyard, located in the Grand Cru village of Chouilly, planted over 50 years ago by founder Paul Pertois. For this Champagne - limited edition of only 1,550 bottles - the vinification takes place in steel tanks and fût de chêne (23%), then a refinement on its own yeasts continues for at least 9 years before the disgorging of this Extra Brut - dosage 2 g/l.

The Champagne Derrière Le Mont Aigu N°13 by Pertois-Lebrun is of great level and elegance: the nose perceives light fruity and citrus notes, while the aromas of yeast and honey are more decisive. In the mouth it is an explosion of ripe fruit, the perlage is very fine and the structure is perfectly balanced by acidity and minerality. It is a Champagne for important occasions and refined dinners, perfect in combination with foie gras and some French aged cheeses.

Champagne Pertois-Lebrun

Pertois-Lebrun is the story of five generations of Vignerons. The Pertois family began to produce and market their own Champagne in the early 1900s, but it was only in 1955 - following the marriage of Paul Pertois and Françoise Lebrun, winemaker from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger - that the Pertois-Lebrun brand was born. When they retired, the Domaine was taken over by one of their daughters, Odile. Today, her grandchildren, Clément and his younger brother Antoine - the fifth generation - are both the real protagonists and continue the important family know-how. Together they devote themselves to the meticulous care of their 44 vineyard plots, a fantastic collection of plots, located in the highest villages - classified as Grand Cru - in the Côte des Blancs: Cramant, Mesnil, Oger, Chouilly and Oiry. In order to produce an excellent Champagne, they cultivate sustainably with an eye to respecting the vines and the entire microbiological life of the soil. In their vineyards, they allow and encourage the penetration of root networks into the subsoil and the underlying chalky terroir, so that the Chardonnay grapes can achieve a magnificent aromatic concentration and rich minerality, which is then exquisitely expressed in their Champagnes Blanc de Blancs.
