About The Winery

Country: France
Region: Champagne

The Pascal Machet estate is a dedicated, family-run grower Champagne house situated in the premier cru village of Vaudemange, on the eastern edge of the Montagne de Reims. Driven by a deep respect for their ancestral land, the family meticulously manages their own vineyards to craft expressive, terroir-focused wines. The "Cuvée Tradition" serves as the welcoming signature of the house, offering an approachable, beautifully balanced, and authentic expression of their terroir.

Terroir: The grapes are sourced from the estate's carefully tended vineyards located across the Montagne de Reims. The vines are deeply rooted in the region's signature chalk and clay-limestone soils. This specific geology is essential for regulating moisture throughout the year and reflecting sunlight, which imparts a classic mineral tension and a vibrant, energetic freshness to the fruit.

Style: A classic Champagne style that harmoniously brings together Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay.

Vinification: The winemaking focuses on preserving the purity of the primary fruit. Following a precise manual harvest, the grapes are gently pressed, and the initial alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats. The wine then undergoes its secondary fermentation in the bottle, aging patiently on its fine lees in the estate's cool cellars. This essential resting period naturally builds a smooth, elegant texture and subtle aromatic complexity while strictly maintaining the vibrant, crisp fruit profile.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: A bright, luminous pale golden hue accompanied by a lively, persistent stream of fine bubbles.

Nose: Highly expressive, fresh, and inviting. It opens with vibrant primary aromas of crisp green apple, juicy white peach, and ripe pear. As it breathes, the lees aging reveals subtle, comforting layers of fresh pastry, white blossoms, and a delicate touch of lightly toasted almond.

Palate: Generous, round, and beautifully balanced. The attack is fresh and fruit-driven, instantly revealing a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Flavors of fresh orchard fruit and tart citrus zest dominate the mid-palate, perfectly supported by a clean, chalky minerality. The finish is remarkably long, dry, and elegantly refreshing.
