Yapp Champagne
Description
‘A seductive combination of biscuity nose, firm fruit and crisp backbone.’ Tom Doorley, The Field
A classic grower’s Champagne from a small house, skilfully blended from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. A bright fruity bouquet, lively mousse, subtle biscuity undertones and crisp fresh palate combine to produce a wine of great charm, elegance and finesse. It is ideal as an aperitif.
- Style: White Wine, Dry (Sec), Light-bodied, Sparkling
- Region: Champagne,
- Producer: Gilles Dumangin
- Grape variety (Cépage): Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir

- Cellarage: A wine to be drunk within a year from disgorgement and final bottling.
- Vinification: The grapes are harvested from 25-year-old vines and fermented in stainless steel and enamel vats. After the addition of a liqueur de
tirage the wine then rests on its lees for twenty months undergoing a secondary fermentation before disgorging, which takes place
approximately three months before the wine is ready for shipping. At this stage a final dosage (of sugar) dictates the dryness of the
Champagne and the 'house' style. Rémuage (the process of moving the sediment to the neck of the bottle before disgorgement) takes
place manually and on wooden stands. - Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 12%
