Bacquaert Brut

Méthode Traditionnelle, Brut

Bacquaert Brut consists of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The alcohol percentage is 12,5%. It is a gastronomic sparkling wine that is not only ideal as an aperitif but also goes along perfectly with starters.

The name of this cuvée derives from the Bacquaert family’s tradition to produce sparkling wines. Until a decade ago, Champagne Bacquaert was produced by Françoise Bacquaert in Damery. This tradition then continued on the wine estate Entre-Deux-Monts and this is how the Bacquaert Brut from Heuvelland was born.

  • First a fine citrus note with riper stone fruit hints. Then the autolysis aromas support the complexity. 
  • Fresh sparkling wine which is supported by a fine lasting acidity
  • Low dosage and a touch of bitter in the finale
