Jean Paul Deville Champagne Carte Noire Brut N.M.

Jean Paul Deville – Carte Noire Brut

Philosophy in the vineyard

The Carte Noire Brut by Jean Paul Deville is crafted exclusively from estate-owned vineyards in Verzy, Champagne. With about 100,000 bottles produced annually, the vineyard blend focuses on quality and terroir expression. The vines, dominated by Pinot Noir at 75%, are carefully nurtured to produce grapes that reflect the elegance and freshness typical of this prestigious Champagne region. The inclusion of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier completes the harmony in the vineyard, balancing power and finesse.

Winemaking approach

This sparkling wine undergoes a meticulous blend of 70% vintage wine with 30% reserve wine aged in wooden barrels, adding complexity and depth. The fermentation and aging process enhance the natural character of the grapes while preserving freshness. Jean Paul Deville’s attention to minimal intervention results in a refined mousse and elegant bubbles that define the Champagne’s distinctive style.

Tasting notes

On the nose, aromas of violet leaf and red fruits emerge, followed by mineral hints and gentle toasty nuances.
The palate is elegant and fine, salty with slightly oxidative notes, full-bodied, balanced, and long-lasting.
