L’extravertie 2020+Réserve Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for L’extravertie 2020+Réserve Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 1500ml Magnum by Pertois-Lebrun

Colour & Appearance

Luminous golden yellow with fine, persistently precise mousse and a bead that reveals both vibrancy and artisanal care in equal measure.

Nose

The nose moves between two poles – and does so with grace. On one side, classic yeast notes that evoke butterscotch and Christmas stollen, lending the wine depth and warmth. On the other, an elegant, almost floral lightness: white peach, nashi pear and delicate lime zest dance alongside apple and almond blossom, as well as tender daisies. Invigorating accents of kaffir lime leaves, wood sorrel and lemon balm lend the bouquet an herbaceous freshness that never allows the wine to feel overwrought. Balanced, charming, inviting.

Palate

L’extravertie reveals itself from its most accessible side on the palate – and this is by no means a shortcoming, but rather the programme itself. Powerful and threaded through with precise, vibrant acidity, without slipping into mineral austerity. This Blanc de Blancs is democratic in the best sense: it requires no initiation, yet rewards the attentive palate. Youthfully fresh, stimulating, convincing sip after sip.

Finish

The aftertaste is dominated by herbs – both in dried and freshly harvested form. Clover sets the final, unmistakable accent and ensures a long, aromatically multifaceted finish.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Chardonnay from Champagne, crafted as Extra Brut with minimal dosage – a clear commitment to fruit and terroir rather than residual sweetness. The magnum bottle (1500 ml) favours slower, more even maturation and imparts additional complexity and ageing potential to the wine.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Ideal with oysters and fine seafood platters, equally convincing with goat’s cheese, creamy risottos or light poultry dishes with herb sauces. As an aperitif in magnum format, simply unbeatable.

Special Features

The magnum format makes this Champagne an ideal companion for special occasions and larger gatherings – and promises further development potential through the more favourable maturation ratio. A Champagne for both worlds: accessible to newcomers, complex enough for connoisseurs.
