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. 1998 is a year when abundance and quality miraculously came together.
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.
The Abyss cuvée is a very unique Champagne which has aged underwater for 1 year. These special aging conditions highlight during the tasting a mineral and chalky signature, reflecting the great terroirs of Champagne.
A rosé with a high proportion of Chardonnays that offers freshness and integrity, complemented by Pinot Noirs vinified in white and red. The red wines from different Champagne crus are produced and blended in search of a crunchy fruitiness and finesse.
Bruno Paillard Dosage Zéro is a selection from the first pressing of the three grape varieties and for the majority vinified in small oak barrels. The “reserve wines” account for half of the blend. The aging is extended well beyond the legal duration: 3 to 4 years in bottle "on the lees" followed by 6 months of rest after disgorging. Dosage: zero.
Palmer Blanc de Blancs is a champagne of exceptional purity, made mainly from Chardonnays from the magnificent terroirs of Villers-Marmery and Trépail. These Premiers Crus from the Montagne de Reims, recognized for their elegance and freshness, are harmoniously blended with delicately fruity Chardonnays from the Côte de Sézanne.
