Far from the somewhat standardized taste of the most famous cuvées of the great Maisons, it is a label that re-establishes the most intimate and exclusive relationship between wine and terroir, bringing into the glass not only the centuries-old savoir-faire but also the most typical characteristics of the production area. An ideal bottle for those in curious search of the authentic nuances of the Champagne region.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e\"Intuition Blanche\" is an Extra Brut Champagne that comes from Michel Hoerter's domaine, located in Essômes-sur-Marne, in the western part of the Vallée de la Marne. For four generations, this winegrowing family has cultivated 9 hectares of vines with full respect for nature, with grassed inter-rows, mechanical weeding and the use of only organic compost to fertilize the land. The area is characterized by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003esoils of silt, and limestone and is clay particularly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e suited to Meunier, the area's main grape variety, but which also gives an intense and rich profile to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The grapes are harvested manually and then pressed very softly. Only the first must flower is sent to fermentation, which takes place in the wood. The vins clars rest a few months while also carrying out malolactic fermentation before being blended to make the final cuvée. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Champenoise Method, with ageing on the lees for 30 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eMaison Michel Hoerter's Extra Brut \"Intuition Blanche\" Champagne presents itself to the eye with a luminous robe of straw yellow with brilliant highlights. The perlage rises subtle and delicate, light and persistent. Refined and elegant, it expresses a bouquet characterized by citrus fragrances of lime zest and grapefruit, ripe aromas of yellow-fleshed fruit, peach, and pineapple, more evolved hints of small pastries, buttery sensations, toasted and dried fruit nuances. The sip is rich and creamy, with a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003ebroad and enveloping aromatic range\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e, perfectly balanced by a limpid expressive tension, resulting in a savoury, persistent finish of decisive freshness.
