Crafted from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, this cuvée is all about purity, minerality and tension, with a very low dosage that lets the character of the fruit and chalky soils shine. Non-vintage by design, it blends different harvests to capture balance, consistency and complexity in every bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Granite Extra Brut is a luminous pale straw to light gold, animated by a fine, persistent mousse and delicate, fast-rising bubbles. The nose opens with vibrant notes of lemon zest, green apple and pear, followed by hints of white flowers, chalk dust and toasted brioche, with a subtle almond and citrus peel complexity in the background.\n\nOn the palate, this Champagne is taut, dry and precise, living up to its “Granite” name with a distinctly mineral backbone. Crisp orchard fruits—apple, pear and a touch of quince—are layered with citrus, a whisper of stone fruit and a saline, chalky edge that brings mouthwatering freshness. The texture is elegant and finely structured, with the Pinot varieties adding gentle red-fruit nuance and body, while Chardonnay drives the linear, long finish. Enjoy it now for its energy and vibrancy, or cellar for 3–6 years to allow more autolytic notes of brioche, hazelnut and cream to emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from carefully selected parcels in the Champagne region, Ployez-Jacquemart Granite Extra Brut reflects the house’s focus on cool, chalk-rich terroirs that naturally deliver tension and finesse. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve acidity and aromatic clarity, then gently pressed to extract only the purest juice. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vessels, with a thoughtful use of reserve wines to build depth and consistency from year to year. Extended lees aging in bottle adds complexity and fine texture, while the Extra Brut dosage is kept very low, allowing the natural expression of the terroir, fruit and long élevage to remain front and center.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Extra Brut is a superb partner for refined, delicately flavored dishes. Think oysters and shellfish, crudo or ceviche, sashimi, and simply prepared white fish, as well as tartare, light poultry dishes, young goat cheese and subtly truffled dishes. Its mineral drive also makes it excellent with tempura, vegetable dishes and lightly salted charcuterie. Serve well-chilled at around 8–10°C (46–50°F); a narrow white-wine glass or tulip-shaped Champagne glass will showcase its aromas best. Decanting is not necessary, but opening the bottle 10–15 minutes before serving will allow the wine to unfurl its complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1930 and based in Ludes on the Montagne de Reims, Ployez-Jacquemart is a family-run Champagne house renowned among insiders for its meticulous, artisanal approach and elegant, low-dosage style.
