The black grapes bring a great richness, complexity, and roundness to the Champagne. Only the pure cuvée (first press) is used for the elaboration of this wine and the low sugar dosage also allows all the aromas to be fully expressed. It can be enjoyed after a minimum of 4 years of ageing in the Domaine’s cellars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFounded in Ludes in 1930, Ployez-Jacquemart is now led by Laurence Ployez. The family owns about three hectares in Ludes, Ville-Dommange, Mailly-Champagne, and Vertus, and complements these holdings with carefully selected Premier and Grand Cru fruit. Long cellar aging, low dosage, and the house's traditional sur-pointe storage preserve freshness and minerality, giving the wines a precise, gastronomic style rather than one built on overt richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThird-generation winemaker Laurence Ployez doesn't make corporate, predictable Champagne. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorking out of her family's historic estate, she vinifies strictly in un-oaked stainless steel using only pristine \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efirst-press juice – no wood makeup, no shortcuts. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHer cellar regimen is uncompromising: the wine ages \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esur pointe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (nose-to-punt) in 25-meter-deep chalk cellars to preserve piercing fruit intensity without getting bogged down by heavy lees.\" – Somm Select\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Grenouille Wine Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68645081022770,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/3206\/7378\/files\/2_6d61467d-4cdb-4ab0-821f-99650bf7f21f.webp?v=1794456626","url":"https:\/\/slakesf.com\/products\/champagne-ployez-jacquemart-extra-quality-brut-ludes","provider":"SLAKE San Francisco Bottle \u0026 Sundry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
