Founded in 1953, Allouchery-Bailly is a four-generation family-owned domaine in the village of Écueil, at the heart of la Montagne de Reims. The Premier Cru vineyards are composed of 5.5 ha in the villages of Écueil, Villedommange, Chamery and Sacy, predominantely Pinot Noir covering over 3.6 ha, followed by Pinot Meunier and the Chardonnay.
The terroir of this region is diversified and gives the wines a unique richness. The Écueil vineyard is planted on formations deposited over a period of 75-30 million years BC. The different layers (chalk, sand, clay, limestone, marls) make the soil especially rich. This minerality gives the grapes all their tension, their crunchy and fruity character, typical of the Écueil region.
Allouchery-Bailly Diapason 1er Cru Brut NV
A classic, pleasurable champagne with all the notes in harmony. Leaning fruity with nice foral tones for complexity. There is fresh acidity and intriguing minerality all balanced by mid-level Brut dosage. A very easy champagne to love.
