Perseval-Farge

France / Champagne

Isabelle and Benoist are the unassuming yet passionate people of Perseval-Farge, 5th generation of a domaine created in 1808. The domaine is in Chamery, a Premier Cru village in the Montagne de Reims. They produce about 30.000 bottles a year, and they own 4 hectares of vineyards, planted to Chardonnay (50%), Pinot Noir (30%), Pinot Meunier (25%), and a small portion of old vines of the ancestral, less frequently encountered approved varieties (Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Arbanne and Petit Meslier). The range of wines is quite impressive and from the basic NV to the prestige cuvée most of them show that PF-signature of richness and a pleasant hint of oxidation. Almost every non-vintage wine has the addition of at least 40% oak-aged reserve wines with an aging time on its yeast of not less than 5 years which adds a nice touch of maturity and give the wine character.
