Tasting Notes "It's showing beautifully, offering up a delicate but complex bouquet wafting from the glass with dried white flowers, citrus oil, freshly baked bread, dried fruit, beeswax, toasted almonds, nutmeg and macadamia nut. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and fine-boned, it's satiny and precise, with a racy spine of acidity and a pearly mousse, concluding with an intensely sapid finish. This is not a powerful, dramatic Champagne, but it's strikingly complex and exquisitely refined." --William Kelley, Wine Advocate
Selling Point A one-off release to celebrate the maison's 90th anniversary

The Story
“Granite" is a symbol of solidity; it is a union of different minerals; and it is also the important symbol of 90 years of production. Today our Granite is a beautiful marriage: a romantic story, blending three grape varieties, from a dozen Crus of the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs that have been part of our cuvées for 90 years. Our Cuvée "Granite" represents the memory of the Champagne PLOYEZ-JACQUEMART, with the assembly of great vintages (1976 -1982-1983-1990-1995-1988-1996-1999-2000-2004-2011-2012 and 2013).Those vintages bring power and profound complexity. It is the union of 61% of Chardonnay from Mesnil sur Oger, Puisieulx, Cramant, Cuis, Bisseuil, Tauxière, Grauve, with 31% Pinot Noir from Mailly Champagne and 8% Meunier from Ludes. To balance the richness of this Champagne 41% of the blend is without malolactic fermentation. An extra brut dosage allows the wine to express all its aromas, its great richness and its freshness.
Around this exceptional assemblage of beautiful encounters, quiet preparation, collaboration between sommeliers, passion for fine wines, beautiful things, is a Japanese artist in love with Champagne PLOYEZ-JACQUEMART. Together, these write a beautiful story for the creation of "Granite."
