About
Ambonnay Grand Cru 2018 is the follow-up to the 2017 release from the small Ambonnay parcel the Bérêche brothers added to the domaine in 2012 - their first Grand Cru holding, on the southern flank of the Montagne de Reims and one of Champagne's most revered addresses for Pinot Noir.
100% Pinot Noir, fermented and aged in oak in the house style, around five years on lees, and disgorged in July 2023 as Extra Brut. 2018 was a generous, ripe vintage - this bottling tends to show that warmth alongside the chalk grip Ambonnay is known for.
