Unique, this great wine is a time travel in the heart of the first champagnes.
Seductive sweetness,
standards transcended,
you will never forget it.
Konrat Velours is a time travel, in the heart of the Enlightenment, at the creation of champagne.
​
We fulfilled a wish for You : recreate a great wine of botrytized sweet champagne with very gentle and lasting bubbles.
We did it thanks to an elaboration over several years, and a vinification reproducing the traditional methods.
​
With its strong identity, Konrat Velours (Velvet) offers a perfect balance between sweet dosage and freshness. The oak cask vinification, smartly controlled, gives an incomparable aromatic complexity dedicated to the great laying down wines.
​
Velours had been unbottled for eternity.
