Champagne Fernand Lemaire Tradition Brut 1er Cru NV

Champagne Fernand Lemaire is a family grower estate founded in 1903 and now run by the 4th generation, Benoît and Hélène Lemaire. Their 7 hectares of vines are all premier cru vineyards in the village of Hautvillers, the historic cradle of Champagne and birthplace of Dom Pérignon, and the estate is HVE certified for sustainable farming.

Tradition Brut is a classic blend of roughly equal parts Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, all from the family’s premier cru vines. Expect white peach, ripe apricot and a touch of brioche, with a fine mousse and a fresh, chalky finish. A brilliant aperitif Champagne that is equally at home with oysters, scallops or smoked salmon.
