Champagne info
100 % Chardonnay grown on limestone, disgorged in October 2022, 0 g dosage.
Colour/ Appearance
Brilliant, pale golden yellow/vivid and broadly diffused perlage.
Nose
The 2018 Fleur de Craie Brut Nature is a champagne clear as a bell, clearly marked by lime notes, the scent of yeast pastry , salted almonds and sea air, whose fruit is delicately hinted at in the form of fresh wood pear, apple and lemon zest.
Palate
On the tongue, it is beautifully invigorating, taut and animatingly purist, its carbonic acid trailing delicately across the palate with a salty hint. An extremely elegant champagne that is completely restrained and yet so inspiring, especially as an accompaniment to fish, shellfish, seafood and dishes inspired by the sea.
