Charles De Non-Dits Champagne Extra Brut 2018

Charles De Non-Dits Champagne Extra Brut 2018 is a precision-crafted vintage Champagne that showcases the character of a generous year in the region. Blending Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, it offers a beautifully dry, gastronomic style with real depth and clarity. This Extra Brut cuvée highlights the purity of fruit from the 2018 harvest, a notably ripe and expressive vintage in Champagne, while keeping a tight, mineral-driven backbone that appeals to serious Champagne lovers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Champagne shines a pale straw to light gold with a fine, persistent mousse and delicate, chalk-tinged bubbles. The nose opens with citrus zest, green apple and pear, layered with white flowers, fresh brioche, and a hint of toasted nuts and chalky minerality. On the palate, it is brisk and focused, with the tension you expect from Extra Brut and the generosity of the 2018 vintage. Chardonnay brings lift and precision, Meunier adds supple orchard fruit, and Pinot Noir contributes structure and subtle red-fruited nuance. Flavors of lemon curd, crisp apple, stone fruit and a touch of almond are carried on a linear, saline finish. While already drinking beautifully now, this 2018 vintage Champagne has the concentration and acidity to evolve gracefully for another 5–8 years, gaining more complexity and autolytic notes with time in bottle.

Production
Sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Champagne region of France, this cuvée reflects classic Champagne terroir: cool climate, chalk and limestone soils, and long, slow ripening. Grapes are harvested by hand to ensure optimal selection and protect the integrity of the berries. In the cellar, the varieties are vinified separately before blending, with a gentle pressing to preserve finesse and purity. Extended aging on the lees in bottle builds texture and complexity, while the Extra Brut dosage keeps sugar very low, emphasizing freshness, minerality and the true expression of the 2018 harvest.

Food & Serving
This Extra Brut Champagne is a versatile partner at the table, ideal with oysters, shellfish, sushi and sashimi, or delicate white fish dishes. It also pairs beautifully with goat cheese, lightly dressed salads, poultry, and refined vegetable dishes such as asparagus or fennel. Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C (46–50°F) to highlight its freshness and fine bead. A brief 10–15 minutes in the glass or a short, gentle decanting in a chilled carafe can help the wine open up aromatically, especially if enjoyed in a larger white wine or tulip-shaped glass.
