Tasting note
Character
A Champagne of razor-sharp clarity and intellectual tension – no easy-drinking tipple, but rather an attentive conversational partner in the glass. Vinified entirely without added sulphites and bottled as a Brut Nature with zero dosage, this Blanc de Blancs reveals Chardonnay in its purest, unadorned form: cool, taut, and electrifyingly vibrant. It demands air, time, and a little patience – and rewards them generously.
Terroir & Origin
The fruit hails from Chouilly, a Grand Cru village in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, specifically from the vineyard site behind Mont Aigu. The deep chalk soils of this hilly landscape form the backbone of the wine: they bestow upon the Chardonnay that vibrating, cool structure which distinguishes great Champagnes. The family estate Pertois-Lebrun in Cramant cultivates around eight hectares of parcels planted exclusively to Chardonnay – here, terroir alone matters, not cellar trickery.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Chardonnay on chalk – the ultimate discipline of Champagne. Pertois-Lebrun works parcel by parcel, harvests by hand, and keeps yields low. With this cuvée, the house takes the most uncompromising step of all: vinification and ageing completely without added sulphur, a radical commitment to the purity of the fruit. Coupled with zero dosage, what remains is acidity, minerality, and the honest signature of the 2018 vintage. A statement from the grower Champagne movement: own land, own hands, own signature.
Food Pairings
The bone-dry structure and chalky bite call for refined, saline cuisine: oysters, sole carpaccio, or sashimi. It also makes an exciting companion at the table alongside Champagne goat’s cheese, roasted cauliflower, or a simple poultry terrine. Served neat in large glasses, it unfolds its full depth best as a meditative soloist.
