Alongside their classic blends, the Champenois adore creating original wines. These they call special or prestige cuvées
. It is the feather in their cap, the essence of their style.
Choosing one’s theme
These particular or exceptional wines are created with one guiding principle in mind.
- The growing area or cru: premier cru, grand cru, or from specially selected sites within one cru.
- The year: most of these Champagne wines are vintage
wines.
- The grape variety: varietal wines or wines where either the white or black grape dominates.
- The aging period: generally longer than for a normal wine, often as much as ten years, or even longer.
