The juice from the first pressing of the grapes are separated. The Cuvée and Tailles are separated. The Tailles are not used in this blend. A small amount of red Champagne wine is added to the cuvée
G.H. Martel, established in 1869, remains a family run company. It is the largest Champagne house producing 8 million bottles per year. Situated in the North East of France, the region is one of cool temperature which produces high levels of acidity in the resulting grapes which is ideal for making sparkling wines.

Fabulously dumpy bottle. Pale blush colour. Creamy, slightly biscuity smell. Lovely balance in the mouth. Some structure but also finesse and lightness. Lovely.
