ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Porte Noire was born out of a shared passion for wine and spirits between Frenchman and oenophile, David Farber and Renaissance man, Idris Elba, a well-known actor and musician. David’s wealth of knowledge and experience in the wine trade, and Idris’s verve and eye for what’s next, have enabled them to launch a delicious and unique collection of wines and to further collaborate on the creation of forward-thinking spirits which unite a vibrant, inclusive community. This community-centric approach strengthens brand loyalty and enriches the cultural landscape by integrating premium wine and spirits into everyday celebrations and grand events alike. Their vision is to become the “Sine Qua Non” of the wine and spirits world, renowned for quality, community and craftsmanship.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The Petite Porte Noire Extra Brut NV cuvée from Champagne Sanger is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier revealing the distinct character of its terroir created from 42 different crus. Sustainable viticulture conforming to the estate’s HVE certification.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
A proportion of the wine has not undergone any malolactic fermentation, resulting in a preserved natural freshness. The grapes are vinified by parcel and the wine aged for 6 months on the lees in stainless steel tanks. Once in bottle for the second fermentation, the wine is aged for a minimum of 15 months. Dosage is low at 4 g/litre in the Extra Brut style and the base wine is 2021 with around 50% of reserve wine from the previous three vintages.
