A Family Legacy Since 1951

Founded in 1951 in the prestigious village of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne Pertois-Moriset is an independent, family-owned grower-producer with generations of winemaking heritage. Established by Yves Pertois and Janine Moriset, who united two longstanding winegrowing families from the Côte des Blancs, the estate has remained firmly in family hands. Today, their granddaughter Cécile and her husband Vincent lead the house, continuing a legacy of craftsmanship and tradition. The estate encompasses 20.70 hectares across two distinct terroirs: the Chardonnay-dominated Côte des Blancs and the Coteaux Sézannais, where both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay thrive.

Food Pairings

With its vibrant acidity, citrus-driven freshness and subtle savoury complexity, L'Assemblage Brut is a wonderfully versatile food champagne. Pair it with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns or pan-seared scallops, where its bright character complements the delicate sweetness of seafood. Its fine mousse and crisp, dry finish also make it an excellent match for roast chicken, creamy mushroom risotto, aged Comté or lightly fried calamari. A beautiful choice for both elegant entertaining and relaxed dining.

Technical Notes

L'Assemblage Brut NV is an equal blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, sourced from vineyards across the Coteaux Sézannais, including Sézanne, Barbonne-Fayel, Chantemerle, Bethon and Montgenost. Based on the 2022 harvest, the cuvée incorporates approximately 70–80% vintage wine alongside 20–30% perpetual reserve wines, contributing freshness, depth and complexity. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with full malolactic fermentation, followed by a minimum of 15 months of cellar ageing to develop texture and balance. The estate's environmentally conscious vineyard practices and careful fruit selection ensure the purity and character of each grape variety are preserved.

What to Expect

A vibrant and beautifully balanced blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, L'Assemblage Brut offers an enticing combination of freshness, ripe fruit and subtle savoury complexity. Aromas of crisp green apple, lemon zest and citrus unfold alongside delicate notes of fresh bread, yeast and a hint of minerality. The palate is sleek and lively, with bright lemon-driven flavours, a fine, persistent mousse and refreshing acidity. Elegant yet expressive, the finish is wonderfully dry and lingering, with a subtle bitter citrus character that makes this an exceptionally food-friendly champagne.
