Champagne Ployez-Jacquemart extra quality brut 

Ployez  Jacquemart has been an operating house for three generations in the village of Ludes, eight miles southwest of Reims. The house is currently run by Laurence Ployez and she owns 5.3 acres herself and buys fruit under long term contract from an additional 29 acres. Laurence is a proponent of working by hand, not tractor from start to finish. All of her cuvees are aged for over six years and aged for at least six years upside down, which sounds better in French— sur pointe. This allows the wine to benefit from the anti-oxidative nature of lees, while the end Champagne remains fresh and vibrant. Ployez generally disgorges their Champagnes to order, and this cuvee is no different. The whole essence of Ployez-Jacquemart rests in their continual search for excellence and their remarkable abilities to make truly fine wines. These skills have been passed down through three generations. Deep-seated pride in our product and heritage are the cornerstones of our traditional approach to champagne production.

Tasting note

A lovely hint of honeysuckle accents the flavors of mirabelle plum, white cherry, anise and grated ginger in this vibrant Champagne, which is finely knit and detailed in texture, with a mouthwatering finish of ripe fruit, spice and chalk accents. Disgorged November 2019. Drink now through 2025. 45% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier
