Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Blanc de Blancs shows a pale straw-yellow color with silvery highlights and a fine, persistent mousse. The bubbles are delicate yet lively, forming a neat crown that hints at its traditional-method craftsmanship. The nose opens with fresh green apple, lemon zest, and pear, layered with white flowers, chalky minerality, and a touch of brioche and almond from aging on the lees. On the palate, it is brisk and linear, driven by citrus and green orchard fruits, with subtle notes of hazelnut and pastry adding depth. The Extra Brut dosage keeps the wine firmly on the dry side, emphasizing tension, salinity, and a clean, mouthwatering finish. Enjoy it now for its vivid freshness, though it can evolve gently for 2–4 years, gaining a little more roundness and complexity while retaining its vibrant core.

Production
Sourced from Chardonnay vineyards in the Jura region of eastern France, this cuvée reflects a cool, continental climate and limestone-rich soils that naturally lend themselves to crisp, mineral-driven sparkling wines. Grapes are harvested at relatively low potential alcohol to preserve high acidity and aromatic delicacy, then gently pressed to obtain a pure, fine juice. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel to capture fresh fruit character, followed by a second fermentation in bottle according to the traditional method. The wine spends time aging on its lees to build texture, creaminess, and subtle pastry notes before disgorgement and a very low dosage, resulting in the Extra Brut style that highlights the terroir’s precision.

Food & Serving
This Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs is a natural partner for oysters, shellfish platters, sushi, and sashimi, as well as delicate fish dishes such as ceviche or lightly grilled white fish. It also pairs beautifully with goat cheese, fresh cheeses, vegetable tempura, and elegant canapés, or simply as a refined apéritif. Serve well chilled at around 6–8°C (43–46°F) to emphasize its freshness and minerality. A brief 5–10 minutes in the glass is sufficient; extended decanting is not necessary, though opening the bottle a few minutes before serving allows the aromas to unfold nicely.
