Marc de Champagne is a particularly fine brandy with a mild, spicy taste. Its colour ranges from clear to light-yellow, to dark-brown yellow. It is made from pomace, which is grapes that have already been pressed to make champagne, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay.

Directly after pressing, the grapes are fermented in a mash for over 3 weeks. Two phases of distillation then increase the brandy’s alcohol content to 70%. Afterwards, the desired alcohol content is acquired by adding water. The fine brandy is then stored for a few months to round off its taste.

Before Marc de Champagne is filled into bottles, different brandies from different years and barrels are mixed together, and the whole lot is filtered once more.

With a little bit of luck, it then finds its way to us here in Waldenbuch. We finally package it appropriately in square chocolate bars and sell it as RITTER SPORT Marc de Champagne Truffles.
