Max’s Notes
Plein Cadre was the Champagne that first won me over to Alfred Tritant.
Its dark fruit is beautifully expressive, but what continues to impress me is the contrast between power and elegance. There is real depth, structure and intensity, yet it never feels heavy or overwhelming.
That balance is what makes Plein Cadre so special to me. It remains one of the most compelling Champagnes in my selection.
Plein Cadre comes from Bouzy in the Montagne de Reims. The village is classified as Grand Cru and is especially closely associated with Pinot Noir. Plein Cadre focuses on this grape variety alone.
