Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Luminous golden yellow with a vibrant, intense and persistent mousse – a Champagne that radiates energy and vitality even in the glass.
Nose
Expressive and inviting: exotic citrus fruits, fragrant white flowers and a pronounced, almost tangible minerality dominate the bouquet. As the wine opens up, it reveals ever greater depth and complexity – a Champagne that rewards patience.
Palate
Juicy, powerful and precise – the carbonation is lively and well-integrated, without dominating. At the centre is an elegant saline minerality, typical of the Grand Cru sites of the Côte des Blancs. Despite the Extra Brut dosage of just 3.5 g/l, the wine feels mature and well-balanced.
Finish
Long, impressive and characterised by sustained mineral freshness. The finish underscores the quality of the base wines and the careful vinification.
Terroir & Origin
An impressive blend from seven cru sites in Champagne: Chouilly, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oiry, Cramant, Oger, Cuis and Villeneuve. The combination of these renowned terroirs of the Côte des Blancs gives this Champagne its characteristic tension between fruit and minerality.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Pure Chardonnay – Blanc de Blancs. Base vintage 2021, supplemented by 14% reserve wines from 2020. Aged in wooden barrels on fine lees, without fining or filtration – a commitment to artisanal precision. Bottled July 2022, disgorged June 2024. Dosage: 3.5 g/l (Extra Brut).
Food Pairing Suggestions
An ideal aperitif, equally superb with oysters, lobster, langoustine and fine turbot. Also an outstanding choice with scallops with beurre blanc or a classic sole meunière.
Special Features
The name says it all: “L’Extravertie” – the extrovert – aptly describes a Champagne that knows no restraint. Unfiltered and unfined, it reflects the terroir with remarkable directness. A Champagne with character and conviction.
