Profile & Story
Champagne Pertois-Moriset is an independent, family-run house in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, founded in 1951 through the marriage of Yves Pertois and Janine Moriset, children of two winemaking families in the Cote des Blancs; the estate is now run by their granddaughter Cecile and her husband Vincent, the fourth generation at the helm. The 20.7-hectare property farms two terroirs - 13.4 hectares of Grand Cru Chardonnay in the Cote des Blancs, and 7.3 hectares of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Coteaux Sezannais - while limiting chemical inputs, practicing sexual confusion in the vines, and working the soil with a 100% electric tractor. Les Quatre Terroirs is a Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru sourced exclusively from Chardonnay grown across the four Grand Cru villages of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant, and Chouilly.
Tasting Notes
Malolactic fermentation is blocked and the cuvee blends 70% wine of the current vintage with 30% perpetual reserve wines, aged a minimum of 36 months in the cellar and finished at a dosage of 3 grams per liter - a noble, delicate, Chardonnay-driven style the house considers a natural fit for any celebration.
Pairing Recommendation
A refined Blanc de Blancs suited to celebrations and fine dining alike; pairs naturally with shellfish, delicate seafood, and soft-ripened cheeses.
