Champagne Soutiran Grand Cru Perle Noir

Soutiran’s main point of difference is the amount of age the wines enjoy in bottle before they are disgorged – anything from between five and ten years – with a further six-months minimum on the cork before release. This has a very distinct effect on the style as these are very much gastronomic Champagnes, designed more for the table than as a celebratory drink.

The Perle Noire is 100% Pinot Noir and again, sourced from Ambonnay and could also claim to be a vintage Champagne – currently 2013 – and production was just 6142 bottles.
