Today, the house possesses 55 hectares of vineyards and is situated in a small village 45 kilometres from Troyes - the historic capital of Champagne - and 180 kilometres south of Reims. The vines lie on steep, sun-drenched hillsides in Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils. Pinot Noir is king here, and constitutes around 80% of Gremillet’s plantings, with the remainder dedicated to Chardonnay, ideal for creating a classic, baked biscuit, rich, fruit-flavoured Champagne. Gremillet work to high standards at every stage of the Champagne making process, including ageing ther NV cuvées for two years instead of the required 15 months and their vintage cuvées for a minimum of five years instead of three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container-inner  producer-sustainability-slice\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"two-col-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"half full-stack left-align-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"desc-inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Note on Sustainability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis family owned and run Champagne house has been HVE 3 certified since 2020, and restricts its use of chemicals in the vineyards as much as possible. One of its cuvées is certified organic by ECOCERT (a rarity as less than 10% of production in the Champagne AOP is organic) and hopefully this is the start of a bigger process. Additionally, in 2024 they installed 1,200 m2 of solar panels with which they are now producing energy to power their winery. The hope is that this will reduce their carbon footprint by 1,800 tons over the next 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wenlock Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56464295985496,"sku":null,"price":31.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/2243\/6184\/files\/GR0INVSN-1.jpg?v=1767966443","url":"https:\/\/wenlockcellars.co.uk\/products\/champagne-gremillet-ambassadeur-brut-nv","provider":"Wenlock Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
