Piot-Sevillano Blanc de Blancs Rebelle

Piot-Sevillano Blanc de Blancs Rebelle. Chardonnay champagne from Champagne, France. Comes from our Chardonnays, planted on the sunniest slopes of Vincelles. Developed with grapes of a very nice ripeness, with firmness and length in the mouth. This champagne, a bit “Rebel” compared to pinot Meunier, the strength of our house (and of the Marne valley), nevertheless retains the refinement and the soft characteristics of our terroir.”Vintage presents on the nose a delicate minerality and a subtle aromatic depth. Aroma full of flowers and white fruit, charming in the mouth, coolness and balance makes it harmonious.”100% chardonnay Brut, 6 gram dosage Tough and rebellious; Chardonnay from the Marne Valley

VIGNERON INDÉPENDANT: CHRISTINE ET VINCENT

Piot-Sevillano is based in Vincelles; a village of some 900 inhabitants along the Route du Champagne in the Marne Valley, known for its high-quality Meunier. Piot-Sevillano has 7.5 hectares of land and Christine is the 10th generation of winemakers since 1700. Since 2015, they have been HVE (High environmental value) certified. Yield: 70% Meunier, 15% Pinot Noir and 15% Chardonnay, half of which was still planted by Christine’s grandfather. The limited edition series of ‘moment of eternity’ are made in an edition of 640 bottles. Piot-Sevillano is a Recoltant-Manipulant winemaker, which means the entire process of making champagne is done by his family; working in the vineyard, harvesting and pressing the grapes, letting the wine ferment all the way through to bottling, aging in the cellars and sales.

Chardonnay, the grape of white Burgundy and Champagne, is planted all over the world. Delivers good to very good wine with a full, dry taste. Chardonnay is a grape that does not have a clear character, which depends on the terroir (soil and climate) and the method of wine making. Chardonnay lends itself very well to maturing in wooden barrels.
