Champagne wine has everything it needs to keep for a long time: acidity, carbon dioxide, and sugar. If it's well-made, it's estimated that a good bottle of Champagne can be kept for at least 5 years. But what constitutes a well-made champagne? For us, it's:
• Grapes harvested at optimal ripeness with a perfect balance between acidity and sugar.
• A terroir that provides acidity and freshness, such as a subsoil of chalk and crushed flint, like ours.
• Aging for at least 36 months instead of the 15 required for secondary fermentation will better integrate the bubbles and allow the aromas to gain in finesse and complexity.
• A dosage perfectly adapted to each vintage. Indeed, adding sugar during disgorgement can completely unbalance a wine or enhance it.
How long will our Brut Grande Réserve keep? It will keep for at least 5 years (7 years max).
How long will our Brut Rosé keep? It will keep for at least 3 years (5 years max).
How long will our Brut Millésimé keep? It will age perfectly for at least 10 years, and even 15 or 20 years depending on the vintage!
In any case, this only works if you store the bottles correctly. It doesn't matter how long, as long as the temperature is constant between 12°C and 18°C, there is no light, and the humidity is good. These are the basics for storing your wine.
