Pinot Noir 50% Chardonnay 50%
TASTING NOTES
The clay-limestone soil is well exposed to the south and the vineyard management is rigorous and careful, so much so that no herbicides or insecticides have been used for ten years. This helps to obtain healthy, well-ripened grapes that are harvested manually, sorting directly in the vineyard. The base wines are fermented in thermoregulated steel tanks and then aged in medium toasted barriques. Blending is done before bottling, and wines from the 2018 harvest were used to make this bottle. After three years of ageing on the lees, disgorgement took place in October 2022, and now this Cuvée Prestige, complex on the nose and structured in the mouth, is ready to accompany a wide variety of dishes, from shellfish to game birds. CRUCIFIX PÈRE & FILS cultivates its vines with the utmost respect for its terroir. Durable Viticulture (V.D.C.) and High Environmental Value (H.E.V.) are the continuation of their commitment and family values handed down over five generations.

Crucifix Père et Fils

Crucifix Père et Fils Discover Maison Crucifix Père et Fils and its fine Champagnes in our online store The Montagne De Reims is a forested promontory with a height of no more than 300 m. It stretches between the cities of Reims and Epernay and lies between the Marne and Vesle rivers. The terrain in this area is unique and is characterized by the important presence of chalk at depth that acts as a water reservoir. The undisputed king of this area is Pinot Noir. André Gabriel already in the 1940s was one of the few winemakers who realized the great potential of the grapes he grew in this area and decided to establish his own champagne brand. In 1960 André's daughter and son-in-law Pierre Crucifix took over the family business and developed their own label: Champagne Pierre Crucifix. In 2005, with the fifth generation of winemakers, Sébastien Crucifix renamed the company Crucifix Père & Fils, together with his wife Carole developed his cuvées while maintaining the traditions of his ancestors and cultivating his 5 hectares of Premier Cru without herbicides and insecticides for more than 10 years.
