Monmarthe Le Mont Joyeux Blanc de Blancs
R1,393.00
The “Mont Joyeux” vineyard spans 5200 square metres and is planted with Chardonnay. Situated in Taissy, near Ludes, its soil is predominantly chalky and classified as Premier Cru. The vineyard faces South-East, optimizing sun exposure and ripening conditions.
Light and luminous yellow, with fine and elegant bubbles in appearance. You’ll find frank, fine, and very elegant notes on the nose, featuring aromas of white flowers with subtle hints of vanilla from barrel aging. The palate offers an open and mineral attack, with flavours reminiscent of crunchy peaches and tangy melon. It finishes long and round, with refreshing citrus and mandarin notes.

Description
Based in the Premier Cru classified villages of Ludes, on the north slopes of the Montagne de Reims, the Monmarthe family has been growing grapes since 1737. In 1931, they took the decision to stop selling to bigger brands and produce their own set of Champagne.
At the helm today, are Jean-Guy Monmarthe and his son Gauthier, tending to 15 hectares of vines within Ludes. They employ sustainable farming, via an HEV (High Environmental Value) certification since 2014, and are a member of ‘The Vigneron Independent’.
The house cuvee of ‘Secret de Famille’ represents around 90% of production, whilst they also produce highly limited wines under their terroir selection, from single vineyards and in single vintages.
