The Memory Collection is a testament to the best vintages of Maison Alfred Gratien, which has been stored for more than 20 years in the Alfred Gratien oenotheque, in the heart of the cellars. The predominance of Chardonnay gives the 1997 vintage elegance and finesse, as well as a particular aptitude for aging.
Alfred Gratien is a prestigious Champagne house founded in 1864 in Épernay, at the heart of the Champagne region in France. Since its inception, the house has maintained a steadfast commitment to traditional and artisanal winemaking methods, setting it apart in the world of Champagne. Alfred Gratien, the son of a cooper, established the house in 1864. He implemented winemaking principles that are still upheld today, including respect for the terroir, rigorous grape selection, and the art of blending.
Piper-Heidsieck Essentiel Blanc de Blancs focuses on the emblematic terroirs planted with the House's Chardonnay to produce a wine whose elegance, fruit and structure illustrate the unfailing link between the Champagne vineyard and Piper-Heidsieck.
Etienne Calsac Les Revenants is an extremely rare and original Cuvée because it is made from forgotten grape varieties: Pinot Blanc, Petit Meslier and Arbane. These 3 grape varieties were planted on a plot of the Domaine: “Les Fours” located in Sézannais.
La Côte Faron is part of the Lieux-dits collection of Maison Jacques Selosse. It is a Blanc de Noirs Champagne (100% Pinot Noir) from the Village of Aÿ, classified Grand Cru. A great Cuvée of gastronomy with remarkable power, elegance and structure.
