Neret Vely Champagne Blanc de Noirs La 5G Extra Brut

Neret Vely Champagne Blanc de Noirs La 5G Extra Brut is a characterful grower Champagne crafted entirely from black-skinned grapes, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, grown in the heart of Champagne, France. This cuvée is tailored for those who appreciate precision, tension and depth over overt sweetness, offering a refined, gastronomic style that shines at the table as much as it does in the glass. As an Extra Brut, La 5G highlights the pure expression of its terroir, capturing the energy and finesse of Champagne’s celebrated chalky soils.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, La 5G Blanc de Noirs shows a luminous pale gold hue with copper highlights, animated by a fine and persistent stream of bubbles. The nose is expressive and layered: ripe orchard fruits such as pear and baked apple mingle with red berry nuances, dried flowers, toasted brioche, and a subtle chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine is dry, vibrant and focused, with the structure of Pinot Noir and the generous, fruit-forward charm of Pinot Meunier. Flavours of crunchy apple, white peach and wild strawberry are wrapped in notes of roasted hazelnut, pastry and a faint hint of citrus zest. The Extra Brut dosage keeps everything taut and mouthwatering, leading to a long, saline finish. Enjoy it now for its tension and freshness, or cellar it for 3–6 years to develop additional complexity, creaminess and tertiary notes of honey and toasted nuts.

Production
Sourced from carefully tended vineyards in the Champagne region of France, Neret Vely’s La 5G Blanc de Noirs is rooted in predominantly chalk and limestone soils that lend the wine its signature freshness and mineral backbone. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to ensure careful selection of Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir clusters, preserving both purity of fruit and natural acidity. In the cellar, gentle pressing yields the finest juice, which is vinified in temperature-controlled tanks (and, depending on the parcel, partially in oak) to retain aromatic clarity while building subtle texture. After blending, the wine undergoes its second fermentation in bottle, followed by an extended period of aging on the lees, building finesse, complexity and the fine bead that define this Extra Brut Champagne. A low dosage is added at disgorgement, allowing the terroir-driven character to take center stage.

Food & Serving
La 5G Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut is a superb gastronomic Champagne that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Its structure and dry profile make it ideal with shellfish (oysters, scallops, langoustines), sushi and sashimi, as well as delicately prepared white meats, poultry with morel cream, or charcuterie and artisanal pâtés. It also works well with mushroom-based dishes and aged, firm cheeses such as Comté or aged Gouda. Serve well chilled at 8–10°C (46–50°F). A brief 10–15 minutes in the glass or in a decanter designed for sparkling wine can help the aromas open up, especially if serving with more complex dishes.
