Champagne Caillez Lemaire

Aux Pieds du Mur Rouge

Winemaking :

 

Aux Pieds du Mur is a 2020 vintage, created from an original blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Meunier. The grapes come from our DAMERY vineyard, more precisely from the "Les Moulins" plot along a stone wall, with vines planted in 1973 (1/3) and 1982 (2/3). To preserve the authentic expression of the terroir, we opted for total destemming and pre-fermentation maceration.

 

Tasting :

 

Aux Pieds du Mur has a deep red colour with intense ruby highlights and hints of aubergine. The first nose reveals aromas of liquorice and jammy black fruit, while the second nose subtly reveals notes of eucalyptus and menthol. On the palate, this cuvée reveals remarkable balance, with a supple, fresh texture. Its full, fleshy attack evolves towards a tangy, fruity finish, leaving a memorable taste imprint.

Pairing :

 

To best accompany Aux Pieds du Mur, we recommend that you enjoy it in a wine glass, at the ideal serving temperature. It goes particularly well with grenaille potatoes and poultry such as pigeon. These pairings will bring out the authentic expression of our Aux Pieds du Mur cuvée, offering an unforgettable culinary experience. 

We make our cuvées without MLF, fining or filtration before bottling.
