An exquisite vintage Champagne, Crucifix Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Brut is a varietal Chardonnay produced by Maison Crucifix Père et fils
The 2015 vintage grapes were sorted from 25 to 35-year-old, Premier Cru vineyards located in Montagne de Reims, in the Avenay-Val d'Or commune.
Meticulously crafted following the traditional method, after completing secondary fermentation this vintage Champagne was aged for 4 years in the cellar. Once the process was completed, Crucifix Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Brut was disgorged 4 months before hitting the market.
This remarkable Brut Millésimé Champagne is produced only in exceptional vintages.
