Champagne Lyliale Waris Hubert
Champagne Lilyale, Waris Hubert's zero dosage version, is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes and it derived from the Cote des Blancs territories.
Specifically, in this Champagne the Grand Cru involved are Avize, Cramant and Oger.
The soil in which the vineyards are developed is typically limestone and the average age of the vines is 40 years. Especially from the vineyard soils of Avize, which are totally dedicated to the cultivation of Chardonnay, full-bodied and pulpy Champagnes are born. In Lilyale this characteristic combines well with the more perfumed side given instead by the Grand Cru of Cramant.
Lilyale, whose name derives from the pure white lily, comes from the union of several harvests: the base harvest from the 2018 vintage, a 20% from a 2013 harvest and a 10% from a 2012 harvest. Aging on the lees before disgorgement lasts 42 months.
Waris Hubert - Avize
"The more the roots tickle the chalk, the more the wines express themselves with finesse and translate our personality and that of our prestigious terroirs. When we obtain exceptional wines, it is because they are already on the vine".
The words of Olivier Waris express well the characteristics that make the wines that are born in the Champagne region unique.
The Waris-Hubert family has been producing Champagne for four generations in Avize, one of the Grand Crus of the Côte des Blancs.
Today, Olivier and his wife Stéphanie, control the production of 11 hectares of vineyards divided among the most representative Grand Cru and Premier Cru of the Champagne region (Avize, Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, Grauves, Ay...).
Their work aims to perfectly reflect the terroir from which the grapes come. To do this, they work by separating all the parcels on arrival at the winery and at pressing in order to obtain Champagnes with well-defined characteristics that reflect their provenance.
