PERES D'ORIGINS VINTAGE

The Sanger brand was born in 1952 from the desire of winegrowers to enhance the components of the Champagne terroir. These 16 winegrowers, mainly from the Montagne de Reims, decided to set up the Sanger house in Avize. Sanger is located on 13 hectares spread over 42 crus representing the entire Champagne appellation, allowing our range to offer a taste journey in Champagne. With 70% of our supplies in Grand Cru Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, we combine elegance, finesse and character in our exceptional cuvées. Our reserve wines isolated by vintage and by year are selected for their aptitude for aging. They support our cuvées over time and bring consistency to our style. To offer you mature cuvées, respecting their origins and their purity, we leave time to time while respecting the raw material: from fruit to oak from the Avize forest. “It is important for us to know where we come from to know where we are going in order to offer a range reconciling tradition and modernity” Eco-responsible practices The material and human resources allow a more responsible approach to the land and wine-growing techniques. The goal is to improve every day. The grapes delivered to Sanger are produced according to responsible techniques, treatments are limited, the use of biotechnologies is favoured, the choice of sizes and weeds are adapted... In the cellars, long aging on lees is practiced, the objective being to intervene as little as possible. Organic certification has not been requested, however the practices are similar. Cuvée Fathers of Origins This vintage Champagne was produced thanks to the first 16 students of the Sanger cooperative house. The following generations wanted to pay homage to them by naming him “Fathers of Origins”. The cuvée is 100% Grand Cru, with 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. Chardonnay is grown on the Côte des Blancs in Avize and Oger. Pinot Noir comes from the Montagne de Reims in Verzy, Verzenay, Aÿ, Bouzy and Ambonnay. The draw was made in 2015. The dosage is 6 to 8 grams. The dosage is 4 g/L. The capacity is 75 cL This champagne will go perfectly with foie gras and tarte tatin.

On the palate, a very greedy wine with a nice frame of candied lemon and cherry stone. Food & wine pairings: Foie gras, white meat, terrine, tatin tart, caramel and lemon Storage and serving temperature: For optimal tasting, serve between 8 and 10 degrees.
