Product Information
Oak Barrel Maturation:

The long contact between the deposit and the oak of the barrel gives the Cuvée 555 its woody taste, aromas of spiced bread and candied fruits. Delicately perfumed to be savoured slowly. Made from 100% Chardonnay Grand Cru, a blend of 2000 and 2001, the Cuvée 555 will keep its freshness and will gain elegance each year. Compared to the rest of the VOIRIN-JUMEL champagne range, the Cuvée 555 is characterized by a golden yellow colour, delicate bubbles, subtle oak nose and especially deep candied fruits and gingerbread flavours.

This Champagne received four stars in the French Wine Review Magazine:

"This pure chardonnay performed admirably. Focused aromas, in a powerful style which should open out on 2, 3 years”

This will appeal to those who like generous and full-bodied Champagnes.

Victor Pugatschew is one of the most experienced, well respected and knowledgeable Champagne exporters. Champagne Evangelist, he champions the small grower and as such is well liked and respected amongst France’s small vineyard owners. He comments:

An as yet undiscovered vigneron in Cramant.  Pure Cramant Chardonnay with a hint of Meursault oak. Their tete de Cuvee.  Very very complex. Only 15 barrels are produced, no racking, no filtration, no malolactic fermentation, frequent batonnages, all to increase lees contact.
