Prologue is the first cuvée of the house, and introduces the philosophy of Champagne J.M.Labruyère: terroir-driven, low dosage to underline the natural ripeness of the grapes and extended ageing on lees.
This blend is mainly from the 2018 harvest, a sunny and precocious year, which ended with the harvest of perfectly ripe and healthy grapes. The use of reserve wines for almost a third of the blend adds a vinous character, a beautiful complexity, and leads to an extra-brut dosage.
The result is a generous, enjoyable, balanced champagne, your best companion for a meal, from aperitif to dessert.
