Champagne, France

Pierre Morlet Champagne Brut Reserve vintage 1999 is a recent discovery for the American market. After four generations, Champagne Pierre Morlet et Fils has become synonymous in France with authentic and handcrafted Champagnes. The Morlet family has been cultivating vineyards in Avenay-Val-d'Or since the early 1800's. Although the family always made its own wine, the majority of the grape production was sold to the Grandes Maisons of Champagne. Today, the powerful and harmonious style of Champagnes "Pierre Morlet" is continued by yet another generation under winemaker Nicolas Morlet, while his brother Luc has become the winemaker at Peter Michael Winery in California. The Morlet vineyards all bear prestigious Grand Cru and Premier Cru designations, sitting side-by-side with the vineyards of such famous producers as Krug and Bollinger. Like Krug and Bollinger, Morlet still partially ferments in oak. This is truly a special Champagne!

The Pierre Morlet Champagne style is rich, harmoniously balanced, and refined. The body is round and elegant with fruity notes of raspberry and wild strawberry, intermixed with hints of violet, expressing the predominance of the Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay adds structure and finesse as well as zesty lemon flavors with classic notes of William pear and acacia. The chalky subsoil provides the wines with a strong mineral background. The Champagnes exhibit complexity and depth brought by the diversity of the terroirs, the old age of the vines, the vinification, and aging in French oak barrels. Finally, the superbly small size and persistence of the bubbles in the glass prove that only the highest quality techniques are applied and that the Champagnes are released only at maturity.

Enjoy vintage 1999 Pierre Morlet Champagne Brut Reserve as the perfect apéritif, or to enhance any meal, from start to finish.
