Champagne Extra Brut 'Les Plates Pierres' by Maurice Grumier comes from the homonymous vineyard plot cultivated for many generations by the Grumier family. The vineyard lies on calcareous and clayey soil and was completely replanted in 1990-91. Cultivated in a biodynamic way, it brings to light a powerful and intense, spicy champagne, which in recent years has become increasingly complex and precise. Cuvée of 60% chardonnay, 40% pinot noir, 9 years on the lees, this Blanc de Noirs fully expresses the experience of 4 generations of winemakers. Very complex champagne, with aromas of yellow fruits and with a distinctly chalky minerality, with a powerful palate, very well structured, dense, and with an excellently integrated acidity, balanced with energy and aromatic tension.

Grumier family has been cultivating their own vineyards since 1743 and has been processing their own grapes since 1928 even though the brand was "founded" only in 1945. The Maison is in Venteuil, on the right side of the Marne, a few kilometers from Epernay. The 8.5 hectares of property, scattered over various Villages in the area (Venteuil, Reuil and Festigny, among others) allow Fabien, current manager of the estate, to deal with different varieties (even if Pinot Meunier, 55%, is the dominant grape) and original terroirs. The attention to agricultural practices (certification: haute valeur enviromental) and the winemaking that tends to support the expressiveness of the vineyards is reflected in the glass, making genuine, fresh and drinkable wines available to the user. Production is around 70,000 bottles.
