\ud83e\udd42\u00a0M.G. Heucq\u00a0<\/strong>Fossile Brut Champagne \u2013 Mineral Elegance and Aromatic Complexity<\/h2>\n

The Fossile Brut<\/strong> is born in the heart of the Marne Valley<\/strong>, in the village of Fleury-la-Rivi\u00e8re<\/strong>, an area famous for its soils rich in marine fossils<\/strong>, from which this champagne takes its name. These ancient sediments give the grapes an extraordinary minerality<\/strong>, making every sip a journey through time and the nature of the French terroir.<\/p>\n

\n

\ud83c\udf47 Composition and production method<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This champagne is a balanced blend<\/strong> of three classic Champagne grape varieties:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Meunier 50%<\/strong> \u2013 adds smoothness and fruity notes,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Chardonnay 30%<\/strong> \u2013 adds freshness and mineral tension,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Pinot Noir 20%<\/strong> \u2013 adds structure and depth.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Vinification takes place for 90% in vats<\/strong> and for 10% in oak barrels<\/strong>, with a long aging of 36 months on the lees<\/strong>.
    60% of the grapes come from the 2016 harvest, enriched by reserve wines<\/strong> from 2015 and 2014, for a perfect balance between youth and Complexity.<\/p>\n
