Serge Mathieu
The Mathieu family has lived in Avirey-Lingey since at least the 18th century. They go to great lengths to harvest grapes at optimum ripeness.
In the winery they try to obtain as much personality and flavour from these grapes, which involves a light hand in vinification and careful thinking.
What results are showstopping authentic champagnes that are true expressions of what the region is renowned for.
Serge Mathieu 2009 Brut Millesime
It has structure, power and length, and bears the mark of its Pinot Noir. It clearly shows all the work that has been carried out in the vineyards since only very ripe and small grapes can produce such density and structure in a Champagne. 8.6 grams dosage.
Entirely made from Pinot Noir… clear, fresh and straight fruit of yellow skinned apples and Williams pears along with citrus flavors and some stony notes on the nose. This is remarkably elegant and delicate with a mineral backbone and an excellent grippy finish.
