FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this champagne suitable as a gift for someone who appreciates historic Champagne houses?

It may appeal to that interest: Alfred Gratien is a family-owned house founded in 1864 and based in Épernay. Its century-old cellar and chalk cellars are tangible points of interest for someone who values a house’s history.

Is a Parker score of 89 enough to tell whether this Brut suits my tastes?

This score provides a point of reference, but no tasting notes are included here. It therefore cannot tell you whether you will find the aromatic profile or texture you are looking for.

How should I choose between this Alfred Gratien and a champagne with an explicit vintage, such as Dom Pérignon 2015?

If you are looking for a specific year, Dom Pérignon 2015 clearly states its vintage, whereas this Alfred Gratien is listed as “NC.” The information provided does not allow a comparison of their maturity or a recommendation on which one to open first.

Is this bottle a good choice if I am specifically looking for a Grand Cru champagne?

The house’s description mentions the production of Grand Cru champagnes, but this bottle is identified only as Champagne Brut. If you are choosing based on the Grand Cru designation, the Pierre Paillard cuvées identified as such in the catalogue provide a more explicit indication.

Does the phrase “only the finest juice” give an indication of this champagne’s style?

It refers to a production method used by Nicolas Jaeger, the house’s cellar master. Without details about the grape varieties, blend or tasting notes, this phrase alone is not enough to determine whether the champagne is brighter, fuller-bodied or fruitier.
