In 1901, Ernest Rapeneau founded his own winery in the village of Hautvillers. It wasn't until 1927, however, that Ernest finally focused on producing Champagnes. And the right choice proved to be an excellent one. He carefully selected his wines and significantly improved the quality of his business. He was a true Champagne connoisseur, and this was clearly reflected in his Champagnes. Rapeneau's personality is primarily based on that of the founder and his descendants: everyone has found their own place within this family business. For four generations, the goal has been to preserve, perpetuate, adapt, and improve a priceless traditional heritage. This Brut Champagne has become a very elegant wine, thanks to the high craftsmanship of the Champagne house. The finest Chardonnay and Pinot grapes are harvested entirely by hand. During the vinification process, the wine is produced according to the traditional Champagne method. The final Champagne is aged for an impressive 15 months. Everything is geared towards a fine bubble and a fresh, rich character.
The Brut Champagne is light and elegant in color with a delicate mousse of bubbles. As soon as the champagne pops, we can immediately enjoy floral notes and exotic fruit on the nose. The wine is wonderfully fresh and well-balanced. It's a joy to pour and savor this champagne.
