Champagne AOC Brut Grande Réserve Beaumont des Crayères

What kind of wine it is

The Brut by Beaumont des Crayères is the Champagne born from a meticulous blend featuring Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. Crafted according to the strict Traditional Method, this sparkling wine is made exclusively from the free-run must. The process centers on enhancing the varietal characteristics, supported by a moderate dosage that ensures precision and aromatic clarity. Prolonged maturation gives this wine a fresh, well-balanced character.

Where it comes from

The grapes for this wine are sourced directly from the heart of the Épernay hills, an area renowned for its excellent pedoclimatic conditions. This geographic location shapes a profile focused on freshness and a dynamic drinking experience. The connection to its territory gives the glass a distinct sense of identity, where the denomination’s character is constantly expressed with high quality. The hilly soils contribute to a lively and complex structure.

How it is produced

Vinification begins with the use of free-run must, the noblest and most delicate part of the pressing. After the first fermentation, secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle as per the Traditional Method, followed by aging on the lees for at least three years. This extended ageing enriches the aromatic profile and consolidates the wine’s body. The addition of a moderate dosage finally balances the acidity with measured softness.

Tasting notes

It appears a pale golden colour, enhanced by fine and regular bubbles that uphold the elegance of the glass. The nose opens with clear notes of yellow fruits and grapefruit, accompanied by fragrant hints of fresh brioche coming from the time spent in bottle. The palate entry is balanced and lively, driven by a refreshing texture that faithfully follows the flavour development. The finish confirms the finesse and purity of the tasting experience.

Food pairings

Its pronounced vivacity makes it an ideal choice for aperitifs, where it prepares the palate and enhances the finesse of the perlage. The perfect pairing is with savoury yet delicate cheeses, such as Comté sticks, capable of complementing the sip without overpowering the citrus aromas. It also harmoniously matches seafood and classic recipes like quiche lorraine, creating a continuous dialogue between food and the wine’s vibrant energy.

When to serve it

This Brut is designed for convivial occasions and proves impeccable at the start of a meal or alongside light, savoury dishes. The prolonged ageing on the lees imparts a well-defined complexity, making the wine ready to enjoy and allowing its dynamism to shine. It is the right choice when seeking a profile that combines balanced structure with assured appeal. The optimal moment to uncork it is now, to fully appreciate its sensory clarity.
