Driven by his passion for vines and wine, he created his own Champagne house in 1892 and laid the foundations for a line of winemakers dedicated to excellence. The Charlemagne family attaches great importance to integrated viticulture and the preservation of the environment. The vines are worked with care, favoring nature-friendly practices and minimizing the use of chemicals. Soil health and biodiversity are at the heart of their approach, guaranteeing the exceptional quality of the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe harvests at Guy Charlemagne are carried out by hand, allowing careful selection of the ripest and healthiest bunches. This attention to detail ensures that only the highest quality grapes are used to make the cuvées. Winemaking at Guy Charlemagne is the result of a combination of tradition and innovation. The grapes are gently pressed, and the juices are vinified in stainless steel vats to pRéserver purity of aroma and freshness of fruit. Some of the wines undergo malolactic fermentation to bring creamy texture and additional complexity to the cuvées. The Champagnes Guy Charlemagne are aged in stainless steel vats and oak barrels, creating aromatic richness and silky texture. Cuvées age on lees for varying periods, giving them characteristic depth and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape \/ Blend\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e100% Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eChampagne, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker's Tasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe robe is a brilliant pale yellow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose as well as on the palate: a harmonious palette finely chiseled between notes of acacia flowers, touches of citrus fruits such as lime, Florida grapefruit with a small elegant finish on the bergamot of Southern Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate is fresh, slightly minty, melting with touches of fresh hazelnuts accompanied by a palette of pastry\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eRestrained citrus notes, particularly fresh, with lime, chalk powder and tarte tatin pastry.
