Producer & Terroir
The Geoffroy family’s roots in Cumières date to the 17th century, with vineyards passed from generation to generation. Roger and Julienne Geoffroy began producing their own bottles in the early 1950s. Jean-Baptiste joined the estate at the end of the 1980s, and in 2008 he and his wife Karine moved the winemaking and commercial operations to Aÿ.
Empreinte is fermented and aged in demi-muids and barrels, without malolactic fermentation. A further 66 months on the lees adds depth, while a dosage of 3 g/L completes its Extra Brut style.
Producer Tasting Note
Champagne Geoffroy: On the nose, a complex bouquet of aromas of red fruit, baked apple and hints of dried fruit. Airy, lively and nervous on the palate. With its balance of richness and freshness, this Champagne stands out. It has the depth and complexity to accompany a gourmet meal. A fine match for roast poultry or mature cheeses.
Serving & Pairing Suggestions
Serve chilled with roast poultry or mature cheeses, as recommended by the producer. Its balance of richness and freshness makes it a thoughtful choice for a gourmet meal.
