Description
The estate-grown Terre de Solemme is based largely on the 2017 vintage, and it’s the only Brut in Solemme’s lineup, with a dosage of 6g/L. Half Pinot Noir, with equal portions of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, it’s fresh and aromatically intense with apple, pear, and white peach. The palate is seamless, displaying notes of honeysuckle, spices, and a saline finish. Nose is fragrant, a declinaison of apple, pear and white peach. Mouth is harmonious with honeysuckle and delicate spices. The duo of Chardonnay and Pinot noir brings a lot of tension and freshness mid-palate with a saline finish.

Champagne Blend
The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn’t unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as ‘blanc de blanc’, meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or ‘blanc de noir’, which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
