Neret Vely Champagne Blanc de Noirs Ode a la Vie Extra Brut

Neret Vely Champagne Blanc de Noirs ‘Ode a la Vie’ Extra Brut is a refined expression of Champagne made exclusively from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, bringing depth, character, and a distinctly gastronomic style to the glass. With its extra-brut profile and blanc de noirs craftsmanship, it offers a more textured, vinous take on Champagne while remaining elegant and precise.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass with a fine, persistent mousse, this Champagne shows a lively and polished appearance. The nose is expressive yet focused, with aromas of orchard fruit, citrus peel, white flowers, subtle brioche, and a hint of red berry from the Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier blend. On the palate, it is dry, fresh, and energetic, balancing crisp acidity with a rounded, creamy mid-palate. Flavors of green apple, lemon zest, stone fruit, and toasted nuances lead to a clean, mineral finish. Thanks to its structure and balance, it should age gracefully for several years, gaining additional complexity and depth.

Production
Produced in Champagne, France, this wine draws its character from the region’s cool climate and chalk-rich soils, which naturally preserve freshness and precision. The use of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier gives the wine its blanc de noirs identity, typically resulting in a fuller body and more savory complexity than many Champagne styles. As an extra brut cuvée, it is made with very low dosage to highlight purity, tension, and the underlying character of the fruit.

Food & Serving
This Champagne is an excellent match for oysters, sashimi, seafood tartare, roast poultry, mushroom dishes, and hard cheeses such as Comté or aged Parmesan. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C to best enjoy its freshness and fine texture. Decanting is not recommended; instead, pour gently into tulip-shaped Champagne glasses to preserve the mousse and aromatic detail.

Producer
Neret Vely is a Champagne producer rooted in the tradition of the region, crafting wines that reflect both varietal character and place. While detailed historical information is limited, the house is associated with a style that emphasizes finesse, structure, and a contemporary approach to classic Champagne winemaking.
