- The Club Trésors comprises 28 artisan wine makers, selected from the finest areas of the Champagne region, each one recognised for the quality of their work. The Club Trésors is the only organisation in Champagne to select its members according to a set of unrelenting quality standards. Each wine maker must make their champagnes entirely in his, or her, own premises and cellars. Furthermore the champagne must be made exclusively from grapes harvested in his, or her, own vineyards. Each wine maker is devoted to his work and passionately protects the quality and the unique character of his own terroir. The jury of oenologists and wine professionals who select the champagnes, demand irreproachable quality as regards both the work in the vineyard and the wines. Each champagne is subject to two blind tastings (once at the still wine stage before bottling and again after 3 years ageing in bottle) by a panel of passionate and distinguished oenologists and wine makers. A Special Club champagne may only be made in outstanding vintage years. Only wine makers who have successfully passed these two tests are deemed worthy of putting their chosen champagne in the unique ‘Special Club’ bottle which may not be used by anyone except the members of the Club Trésors. Obtaining this ‘Holy Grail’ is a true accolade and one that requires daily dedication and application by the wine maker. Only in this way can our select group guarantee to champagne lovers everywhere the exceptional quality and unique artisan character of our champagnes.
This Special Club 2015 is the second vintage since the re-integration of the Pertois-Moriset house into the very prestigious Club Trésor de Champagne. It is the result of a blend of the most beautiful parcels of the house located in Mesnil-sur-Oger. This champagne is composed of Chardonnay from the localities "Les Jutées", "Les Hauts d'Aillerands", "Les Jeamprins" and "Les HautesMottes", terroirs classified Grand Cru of the Côte des Blancs. This cuvée is made from the 2015 harvest, 88% of which is vinified in stainless steel vats and 12% in oak barrels.
Like the other cuvées of the house, the malolactic fermentation is blocked to preserve the beautiful acidity, the freshness and the tension of the wine and thus allow to give a feeling of longer and more saline finish in the mouth. The bottles have been aged for at least 60 months on slats and the wine is dosed Extra-Brut, at 2 g / L to preserve the characteristics of the terroir and of the vintage. This remarkable Special Club 2015 cuvée is produced at 6,539 bottles.
