Champagne Pertois-Lebrun - Le Fond du Bateau 2016

LE FOND DU BATEAU N°16

CHOUILLY GRAND CRU • BLANC DE BLANCS

This first cuvée in the "Les Fidèles" range comes from the eponymous lieu-dit at the southern end of the Chouilly Grand Cru vineyard. It is made from a single 1.44-hectare plot, whose old Chardonnay vines, averaging over 50 years old, were planted by their grandfather, Paul Pertois. Its terroir of origin, marked by a silty-limestone soil over Senonian chalk subsoil (Upper Cretaceous, Secondary Era), reveals itself through a remarkable balance between power and finesse, aromatic generosity and delicate minerality.

Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs in the Heart of the Côte des Blancs

Champagne Pertois-Lebrun is a family-run estate based in Cramant, at the heart of the prestigious Côte des Blancs. Founded in 1955 by Paul Pertois and Françoise Lebrun, it is now run by their grandsons, Clément and Antoine Bouret, representing the fifth generation of winegrowers.

The estate covers 9.7 hectares of vines, mainly spread across the Grand Cru villages of Cramant, Chouilly, Oiry, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, as well as the Premier Cru villages of Cuis and Villeneuve. Since July 2020, the vineyard has been undergoing organic conversion, reflecting the Bouret brothers’ commitment to environmentally responsible viticulture.

The house’s philosophy is built around four core values: understanding and respect in the vineyard, and sincerity and authenticity in the crafting of the wines. This approach is expressed through exclusively Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagnes, showcasing the diversity and richness of the Côte des Blancs terroirs.

Among the estate’s signature cuvées are “L'Extravertie” and “L'Ambitieuse”, Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagnes that showcase the Pertois-Lebrun family’s expertise and passion for Chardonnay.
