Composed of 74% Pinot Noir and 26% Chardonnay from three vintages that are exclusively Premier and Grand Crus. Primary fermentation is in either small capacity stainless steel tanks or in French oak "Demi-Muids" barrels with weekly stirring of the lees. Released after a minimum of three years of ageing in the deep caves. Disgorged three months prior to shipping. The Grande Reserve blend is modeled after the classic base of the Cuvee Suivie, also representing all of the Morlet family's terroirs of Premiers Crus Avenay-Val-d'Or, Bisseuil, and Mutigny and of Grand Cru Ay. More mature flavors and aromas characterized the Grande Reserve which has built the Pierre Morlet reputation. | Morlet Family Wines
