Vranken Diamante Champagne Brut Non-Vintage
Product Information: This Diamant Brut cuvée is a versatile blend of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier. Vranken has made it a point of honour to select grapes exclusively from grands crus and premiers crus, thus ensuring unique quality and character. In a beautiful, bejewelled bottle this cuvée is rather fittingly named Diamant. This Champagne reveals pleasant floral and fruity notes. Both lively and voluptuous, it surprises with its balance and elegance. A terrific aperitif style made with diamond cut precision. Maker: As a young entrepreneur, Paul-François Vranken settled in Champagne in 1976 to set up his own champagne house in the heart of the Sézanne region. Then in 1985, he purchased the Château des Castaignes in Montmort, built on a site named La Demoiselle, a few kilometres away from Epernay. The Château is perched on the hillside, in the heart of a park designed by Edouard Redont who also designed the park of Villa Demoiselle. The idea arose to create a new cuvée for Vranken champagne called La Demoiselle de Champagne, Demoiselle being a common name for the dragonfly, which was an emblem for the Art Nouveau genius René Lalique. The planets seemed to align for the first brut champagne, whose special bottle was a moving tribute to Art Nouveau. In 2004, Paul-François Vranken acquired the Villa Demoiselle to establish the head office of the Champagnes Vranken. Château des Castaignes is therefore the origin of the Demoiselle collection. Philsophy: From 1978 onwards, Paul-François Vranken and Dominique Pichart, the first winemaker, revolutionised taste by suppressing the cognac spirit (minimal dosage) from their champagnes to create lighter, more modern wines, full of freshness: the Vranken taste is born and with it, the taste of aperitif champagne. The second Cellar Master Pierre-Hubert Crozat is faithful to the style of the Maison that has been developed for over 40 years, he reconciles the demands of style while meeting the demands of the changing climate - he employs sustainable viticulture for the defence of biodiversity in Champagne. All this is the result of a marvellous alchemy between their work and that of a unique know-how from an exceptional region, Champagne.

This revolutionary dry style set the benchmark for the rest of Champagne and it is in this spirit that the style of Pommery endures; with each cuvée displaying sublime elegance, finesse and freshness. The elaboration of Pommery Brut Royal Kosher entails that every step of the production process is conducted by a rabbinic delegate under the strict guidance of the Pommery oenologists.
