Tradition Brut is Champagne Baron-Fuenté's showcase for Pinot Meunier from the Vallée de la Marne, grown on the house's Coteaux de Rivière vineyards around Charly-sur-Marne. The blend is 70% Meunier and 30% Chardonnay. The grapes are pressed straight after picking and fermented in stainless steel, and the wine then rests two years in the house cellars. Dosage 5 g/L, 12.5% ABV.
Tasting notes
From the house: a light gold colour with fine bubbles. The nose is discreet, with brioche, candied and puréed fruit and a touch of honey; the palate is soft and supple. The house serves it as an aperitif, at 8–10°C.
