Wine Description for L’extravertie 2020+Réserve Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 3000ml Double Magnum by Pertois-Lebrun

Character

Pertois-Lebrun, a Récoltant-Manipulant from the heart of Champagne, demonstrates with this Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut the craftsmanship and courage to pursue purity. The cuvée unites two vintages – 2020 and a Reserve – and presents itself in the imposing Double Magnum, a format that lends the Champagne additional ageing potential and finesse. The name „L’extravertie“ promises expressiveness and personality, whilst the Extra Brut dosage with minimal residual sweetness allows the unvarnished character strength of Chardonnay to shine through.

Terroir & Origin

The house of Pertois-Lebrun tends parcels in the Côte des Blancs, that legendary chalk belt south of Épernay, where Chardonnay finds its noblest expression. The chalky soils impart those mineral tensions and precision that make Blanc de Blancs from this region so unmistakable. As a small grower Champagne, this cuvée stands for authenticity and terroir expression far removed from industrial mass production.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Chardonnay in its most concentrated form: the assemblage of the 2020 vintage and matured reserve wines creates complexity and depth. The Extra Brut dosage of less than 6 grams residual sugar per litre demands perfectly ripe grapes and impeccable vinification – only thus does harmony emerge without masking sweetness. The large format of the Double Magnum slows maturation, refines the mousse and intensifies aromatic development over years.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This purist-elegant Champagne harmonises beautifully with oysters, scallops and raw fish such as sashimi. Equally, it accompanies goat’s cheese, Comté or steamed turbot with herb butter. The low dosage makes it the ideal aperitif for discerning occasions – the imposing format predestines it for festive tables and large gatherings.
