Our Brut Tradition Champagne is the calling card of the Charles Degodet House. Made from our own vines in the Ardre Valley, it expresses all our craftsmanship as an independent French grower.
This cuvée highlights Meunier (70%), the king grape of our valley, completed by Pinot Noir (20%) and Chardonnay (10%). To ensure perfect maturity, our bottles benefit from at least 2 years of cellar aging, well beyond the usual standards.
This is the Champagne of conviviality par excellence.

The Brut Tradition is the entry-level cuvée of a champagne house, its ambassador. The Brut Réserve contains a higher proportion of reserve wines (previous vintages). Our Brut Tradition stands out for its Meunier-dominant blend and its 24-month aging, above the average.
Meunier is the emblematic grape of the Ardre Valley and the Marne Valley. It brings roundness, fruitiness and generosity to champagne. We highlight it to faithfully express our terroir.
Our Brut Tradition is ready to drink upon release, but can be kept for 3 to 5 years in good conditions (cool cellar, lying flat, away from light). It will gain in complexity with some aging.
The ideal serving temperature is between 8 and 10°C (46-50°F). Avoid prolonged ice buckets which harden the aromas. A gradual cooling in the refrigerator (3-4 hours) is preferable.
