Champagne Soutiran Signature Grand Cru NV

In 1936, Gerard Soutiran left his military career to return to viticulture, which he had grown up learning. He took over the vines of his former mentor and soon extended his land. The 1950s became the first vintage with the Soutiran name on the bottle. Champagne Soutiran is a family-owned domaine based in the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay. Patrick and Valerie Renaux, who represent the domain's third generation, cultivate 8 hectares of vineyards dedicated to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In Ambonnay, the chalk-laden soils of the region are complemented by a higher degree of siliceous clay, which results in Champagnes that are often equipped with a more formidable structure than wines from other Grand Cru sites.
