Chardonnay Auxerrois Sekt Brut Nature 2021

Wine description for Chardonnay Auxerrois Sekt Brut Nature 2021 by Andres & Mugler

Colour & Appearance

Luminous golden yellow with delicate green reflections. The perlage displays itself as fine-bubbled and exceptionally lively – a visual promise of freshness and elegance.

Nose

Inviting and complex: pear and apple skin meet roasted almonds, along with white flowers and a hint of floral honey. The aromatic profile is strikingly intense and already whets the appetite on the nose.

Palate

Juicy, expressive and full-bodied, this Brut Nature presents itself with fruit-driven structure. The perlage integrates seamlessly, whilst minerality and piquant spice define the character. A smoky-saline note lends additional depth and complexity. Despite zero dosage, the sparkling wine is far from austere, instead displaying impressive substance.

Finish

Persistently fresh with a mineral aftertaste and a fine saline component that invites the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

From the Palatinate, a region increasingly recognised for its high-quality sparkling wines. Andres & Mugler understand how to translate the potential of their vineyard sites into the bottle.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The cuvée from Chardonnay and Auxerrois is a clever choice: the Chardonnay provides structure and elegance, whilst the Auxerrois contributes fruit and fullness. As a Brut Nature without dosage, the sparkling wine reveals the true quality of the base wine – there is nothing to hide here.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A versatile food companion: excellent with green asparagus with raspberries, poultry liver terrine with pear or turbot with freshwater crayfish and Noilly-Prat sauce. The saline minerality harmonises particularly well with seafood and crustaceans.

Special Features

A top-class sparkling wine that proves German winemaker sparkling wines can hold their own alongside French Champagnes. The Brut Nature style demands courage and skill – Andres & Mugler deliver both.
