Exclusive wineryQuenardel's 'Blason Vert' is an impetuous, mouth-watering and very rich Brut Champagne. Made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes, it is matured for at least 36 months on the lees, resulting in a bottle that can be drunk immediately and therefore requires no further ageing. On the palate, it is an explosion of fruit, including rhubarb and gooseberry, enhanced by intense citrus notes and a spicy, mineral finish. Fresh and very fine, it is suitable for any occasion, even better if accompanied by a fish hors d'oeuvre or a vegetable risotto
The Champagne Brut ‘Blason Vert’ from the champenoise J.H Quenardel is characterized as a sparkling wine with a classic and balanced style that serves as a sort of business card for the winery. Founded back in 1906 by Henri Quenardel, grandfather of the current owner and namesake Henri Quenardel, the J.H Quenardel winery has experienced constant qualitative and quantitative growth over its more than 100 years of history. Today, the Quenardel family manages 18 hectares of vineyards distributed in the Montagne de Reims, with the winery located in the small village of Ludes.
J.H Quenardel ‘Blason Vert’ Champagne Brut comes from a blend of Chardonnay (47%), Pinot Noir (38%), and Pinot Meunier (15%) grapes cultivated using sustainable agronomic practices, as evidenced by the ‘VDC’ and ‘HVE’ certifications. In particular, both the Pinot Noir and the Pinot Meunier come from Champagne villages classified as Premier Cru. After harvesting, the grapes are transferred to the winery and vinified in white through soft pressing and alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Once ready, the base The sparkling wine is then bottled with the addition of liqueur de tirage for refermentation according to the prestigious Méthode Champenoise. It follows a long aging of at least 36 months on the lees, after which the degorgement and final dosage as Brut, at 7.8 g/l of residual sugars, are carried out. Specifically, for the liqueur d’expedition, a base of perpetual reserve from Chardonnay grapes is used.
The ‘Blason Vert’ Champagne Brut by J.H Quenardel has a straw-yellow hue with greenish reflections, featuring a rich, persistent, and very elegant effervescence. Fruity aromas of rhubarb and gooseberry characterize the nose, enhanced by intense citrus notes that anticipate a slightly spicy finish, in which notes of toasted bread emerge accompanied by mineral sensations of flint. The sip is luscious, very lively, with a full body that does not, however, preclude overall dynamism and delicacy.
