90% Chardonnay & 10% Pinot Noir from Champagne, France. Organic.

From the importer:

The Chardonnay base is exactly the same wine as the house's Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs, vinified in stainless steel tanks with carbon dioxide gas used to prevent oxidation during vinification. The Pinot Noir is destemmed and vinified at the domaine.

Still red wine from their own production is blended with the Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs to create a rosé d’assemblage. The wine is bottled and aged on the lees for 24-36 months. Only 3,500 bottles produced.

Produced in their cellars in Avize, the Petit Lebrun Champagnes are a fresh, vibrant, and classic expression of Blanc de Blancs. The rosé comes from Véronique’s family Grand Cru vineyards in Verzenay. Normally, this blend of Grand Cru Pinot Noir and Chardonnay could bear a Grand Cru label, but because of administrative technicalities, they are only able to use Premier Cru.

Richard and Véronique Petit farm just over 4 hectares of grand cru chardonnay vines in Avize, Oiry, Chouilly, Oger, and Cramant. In the vineyard, they do not use herbicides, and all the treatments that they use on the field are products that are approved by Haute Valeur Environnementale, and all products that are used during vinification are approved by Agriculture Durable & Bio.
