Champagne Brut Nature mag 15 by AR Lenoble is made up of 15% Chardonnay from the Chouilly Grand Cru vineyards, 40% Pinot Noir from the Bisseuil Premier Cru vineyards and 45% Pinot Meunier from the Damery vineyards in the Vallée de la Marne. Since the 1990s, the company has been working with a parcel-by-parcel approach, thus emphasising the characteristics of each one. At the harvest, the grapes are harvested by hand, selected, then pressed in traditional wooden presses. The musts are placed, according to the specificities, in thermoregulated stainless steel vats, in 225L wooden barrels or in 5000L wooden barrels for the first fermentation. The company's reserve wines are stored according to the principle of perpetual reserve: each year a part of the harvest is used to refresh it, the rest serves as a base wine for blending. Since 2010, this reserve has been largely preserved in magnum, on yeasts, closed with cork for a minimum of 4 years, hence the name of the mag line. In the 2015 vintage the percentage of reserve wine is 45.
