Champagne De Reyve Brut Premier Cru Gold

Reyve champagnes are made in the heart of Avize, and this golden example is no exception. The impressive Union de Champagne cellars produce these high-quality Champagnes. Located meters underground, the cellars are where the wine matures under perfect temperature conditions according to the renowned "méthode traditionnelle" (traditional method).

The vineyards of the Union Champagne cooperative

The Reye Champagne Brut Premier Cru Gold is produced by Union Champagne, a Champagne cooperative that owns a significant portion of the Champagne region's finest vineyards. The Union Champagne cooperative boasts no fewer than 1,200 hectares of vineyards, all cultivated with varietals used to produce the world's finest sparkling wine. Many of the grapes are planted in the villages of Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Ambonnay. Union Champagne is a partnership of 15 small cooperatives from 13 of the most prestigious villages, all of which hold Premier Cru or Grand Cru status. The Reye Champagne Brut Premier Cru Gold is the result of the collaborative efforts of a group of winegrowers who own vineyards planted in "grands" and "premier crus." During vinification, nothing is left to chance. First, the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes are carefully harvested. A rigorous selection process follows in the cellar, after which the Brut Premier Cru Gold champagne is made using the traditional method. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, the first in stainless steel. Regular tastings are conducted throughout the process to ensure perfect results.

What does Champagne De Reyve Brut Premier Cru Gold taste like?

And we can certainly call it perfection. The Brut Premier Cru Gold from Champagne de Reyve gleams golden yellow in the glass. Upon pouring, it releases delightful aromas of citrus, tropical fruit, and brioche. The aroma seduces you to the first sip. Expressive yet refined on the palate. An elegant mousse and a pleasant finish. An excellent champagne with oysters or crab, but also surprisingly delicious with stir-fry dishes featuring shellfish.
