(cdg) 236. Pascal Lejeune

Champagne Pascal Lejeune MITONYMIE “Figure de Style No.1” is crafted from grapes sourced from the heart of Epernay, Moussy, and Vinay. The soil consists of clay, limestone, sand, and silt, with steep slopes where the vines are over 30 years old. The vineyards transitioned to organic cultivation 3 years ago but have been following sustainable practices for 23 years! The wine rests for 6 months in stainless steel tanks, with 10% aged in Burgundy barrels, regularly stirred to extract flavor from the yeast cells. Bottling typically occurs in March—this vintage is from 2019. METONYMIE means metonymy, a figure of speech that replaces the basic word with another from the same semantic field: Grape (for: wine), he hit the bottle (meaning the content), Christiansborg has decided (the politicians at Christiansborg).
