For connoisseurs keen to buy extra-brut oak-aged Champagne, Germar Breton’s Fût de Chêne is the ultimate expression of barrel-matured finesse.

With only 3 g/L dosage, the wine’s natural aromas - white flowers, caramelised oak and toasted nuts - shine through, making it an unforgettable tasting experience.

Winemaking: After stainless steel first fermentation, the blend moves to oak for 12 months before bottling and a further 18 months on lees in bottle. Blending 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir, the barrels impart vanilla and honeyed complexity.

Pairing Suggestions: Foie gras, sautéed mushrooms or aged Comté

Tasting Note: Brilliant gold, pronounced vanilla and honey on the nose, and a generous palate of almond paste, white flowers and subtle spice.

Origin: Côte des Bar, Champagne, France

Alcohol: 12.5%

Blend: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir

Champagne Germar Breton

The Breton family are from the very south of Champagne in the Aube, where the landscape is more Burgundian than classic Champenois.

A little more clay in the chalky soil and a few more sunshine hours give wines that are generous and approachable and, most importantly, affordable.

Modest growers who have produced grapes for centuries but have only made the Champagne wines themselves for roughly forty years. They are finding their feet, and producing wines that cause irritation to the grander names further north.
