Ployez-Jacquemart Extra Brut Rose, Champagne (750ml)

When Marcel Ployez and his wife Yvonne Jacquemart bottled their first Champagne in 1930, theirs was a style emphasizing elegance, freshness. Their style – steadfastly honored by third generation Laurence Ployez – has become harder to find these days. Referred to as Extra Brut, it's one of very low dosage, allowing the personality and essence of each individual vintage to shine through. Most of the non-vintage releases will be cellared a dozen years to reach the complexity known as the Jacquemart signature. Jacquemart follows Burgundian theories of terroir and vintage in many ways; Laurence routinely speaks of the long established practices of the Cote d'Or's best growers, emulating them from vineyard to cellar. Balancing ownership with long-standing grower contracts, Laurence Ployez works mainly with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier vineyards in the Premier and Grands Crus villages of Ludes and Mailly Champagne – her sites predominately located on chalky soils. These soils, this combination of varieties and the family's methods result in wines of unmatched elegance. Their mouthwatering Rosé showing just how impeccable the Jacquemart style truly is.
