François Secondé Puisieulx Grand Cru Les Petites Vignes is a vintage Champagne from the celebrated 2009 harvest, made exclusively from Chardonnay. Sourced from the Grand Cru village of Puisieulx in Champagne’s Montagne de Reims, it offers the opportunity to explore the character of a distinctive terroir through a mature, single-vintage cuvée.
Tasting Notes
The wine is expected to show a golden hue and a refined, persistent mousse, reflecting its age and time spent maturing. Aromas may include ripe orchard fruit, citrus, brioche and subtle toasted notes, with the evolution typical of a well-cellared vintage Champagne.
On the palate, expect a balance of freshness and mature complexity, with Chardonnay-driven citrus and stone-fruit flavours complemented by creamy texture and mineral length. As with any mature Champagne, its condition and development will depend on storage; it is best enjoyed now, although well-preserved bottles may continue to evolve in the short term.
Production
The wine comes from Puisieulx, a Grand Cru village in Champagne’s Montagne de Reims, and is made from Chardonnay. Specific details regarding the vineyard’s soil composition, harvesting methods, fermentation, dosage and cellar ageing have not been provided.
Food & Serving
Serve chilled at approximately 8–10°C, preferably in a tulip-shaped Champagne glass to allow its mature aromas to develop. It pairs beautifully with oysters, scallops, grilled or poached fish, poultry with cream sauce and mature soft cheeses. Decanting is not generally necessary, although carefully pouring the wine into a small carafe can help release its aromas if it appears especially closed.
Producer
François Secondé is a Champagne producer associated with the Grand Cru villages of the Montagne de Reims. This cuvée highlights the house’s focus on expressing site and vintage through a Chardonnay-based Champagne from Puisieulx. Further details about the producer’s history and notable achievements were not provided.
