Production Notes

'Blancs de Noirs' Michel GUILLEMINOTWith the 'Prestige' Cuvee, Michel used the older vines of the 24 scattered parcels the family owns in the Cotes des Bars.The blend of Champagne Guilleminot Brut Prestige is similar to the blend ofBrut Tradition (it includes 30 % of reserve wines). The ageing process is however longer. This Champagne ages a minimum of four years resting peacefully on its lees in the family's coolcellars before being released. There is still a lovely fruit character from the Pinot Noirbut with greater richness and depth of toasty character with touch of spicy aromas.Best as an aperitif or to accompany seafood or fish dishes.Ideal temperature for Champagne to be served is 46˚F (8˚Celsius).

About the Wine

For the Prestige cuvée, Michel Guilleminot draws on the older vines among the family's 24 parcels in the Côte des Bar. Aged at least four years on its lees in the family's cool cellars, it keeps the lovely Pinot Noir fruit while gaining richness, toasty depth and a touch of spice.
