Marc Hebrart Champagne Extra Brut Rive Gauche/Rive Droit Grand Cru 2013 750 ML

Champagne has a fresh, elegant, bright, deep, concentrated taste with fruity floral accents, citrus acidity and a long, elegant finish. Champagne has an attractive pale straw color with golden sparks and a thin, persistent perlage. The subtle aroma of champagne intertwines notes of hawthorn, black currant, toasted toast, anise and candied ginger.\n \n Producer Information\n Jean-Paul Hébrart took over the operations of Marc Hébrart Champagne in the Vallée de la Marne from his father Marc in 1997. This estate is not exactly new: Jean-Paul’s father has been producing champagne under the Marc Hébrart name since 1964 and has been a member of the Special Club since 1985. Hébrart farms 14 hectares of vines on 65 different sites in 6 villages: the 1er cru vineyards of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Avenay, Val d’Or and Bisseuil and the grand crus villages of Aÿ as well as Chouilly and Oiry in the Côte des Blancs. Each parcel is always vinified separately in glass lined stainless steel and ceramic tanks. He is slowly phasing out the ceramic as it is more difficult to control the temperature. Hébrart is also experimenting with barrel fermentation and indigenous yeast fermentation for some of his older vine parcels.
