Jean-Yves Péron, La Grand Journée 2023 Champagne it really takes you therePlace: Haute Savoie, France Grape: Altesse Vibe: Advanced Altesse, old vines, organic farming, non interventionist all the way. 3ish months on skins followed by a year on fine lees, expect some grip. Embrace the grip! Spice is dialled up here too, bubbling alongside plenty of orchard fruits, ably supported by that driving sub Alpine acid line. Wondrous. ABV: 12. 5%
