The blend is 60% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier from the parcels “Le Mont Teigneux”, “Le Mont Lignat” and “Les Barbaries” all of which are on calcareous clay soils. The base wine is 2010, with 5% reserve wines from 2009. Only the “cuvée” part of the pressed juice is used for this cuvée. Vinification is in stainless steel tanks, with 30% of the wine aged in acacia barrels and another 20% aged in oak barrels for 6 months. There is partial malo-lactic fermentation (it is blocked on the Chardonnays). The wine is then blended and bottled with a cork closure rather than the typical cap. This expensive and time-consuming practice allows some micro-oxygenation to take place during the long period of maturation. The champagne is aged sur lattes for a minimum of 10 years and finished with and disgorged with a dosage of 4.5g. It is produced in batches of no more than 2000 bottles per year, every numbered bottle is hand-riddled, hand-disgorged, and tied with hessian twine in the traditional manner before being sealed with the Fresne Ducret monogram. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Traditions","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":44468391018609,"sku":"FCPierreProsper","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/5407\/6785\/files\/l20wkppqk8qf_b93a6380-2702-4ff2-8c71-9242e4164228.jpg?v=1788527401","url":"https:\/\/cellar-us.com\/products\/fresne-ducret-pierre-prosper-1er-cru-brut-nv-750ml-gujw2v","provider":"CELLAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
