Ruppert-Leroy 11,12,13... 2022

This is the only perpetual cuvée from Ruppert-Leroy. It comes from a reserve that includes wine from every parcel of the domaine dating back to 2011, plus organically-grown grapes purchased from friends in the Aube. The 2022 release is starting to gain a more oxidative character with a tart acidity, which maintains freshness and ageability if you would so wish. COUNTRY Champagne, France APPELLATION Champagne AOC VARIETY Pinot Noir, Chardonnay STYLE Bright & Bold ABV 12.5% WINEMAKER Ruppert Leroy ABOUT THE REGION The Champagne wine region is located in northeastern France, renowned worldwide for its sparkling wines. It is distinguished by its cool climate and chalky soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wines. The region primarily cultivates three main grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, each contributing to the complexity and character of Champagne. Known for its méthode champenoise, a traditional method of secondary fermentation in the bottle, Champagne produces wines celebrated for their effervescence, finesse, and ability to age gracefully.
