This Blanc de Blancs<\/strong> from the prestigious Chouilly Grand Cru vineyard epitomises the subtle precision that only the C\u00f4te des Blancs can produce. The 2017 vintage - a year of early flowering and late summer challenges in Champagne - is reflected in a remarkable tension that expresses the limestone terroir of Chouilly in its purest form. As Brut Nature<\/strong> Vinified without dosage and without added sulphites, this champagne reveals the unadulterated essence of Chardonnay and the microcosm in which it thrives.<\/p>\n The house of Pertois-Lebrun, which has been rooted in the C\u00f4te des Blancs for generations, is making a statement of artisanal authenticity with its Cuv\u00e9e N\u00b017. The absence of added sulphites (Sans Sulfites Ajout\u00e9<\/strong>) ist nicht modischer Zeitgeist, sondern vielmehr die konsequente Weiterf\u00fchrung einer Philosophie, die auf minimale Intervention und maximalen Terroir-Ausdruck setzt. \u201cDerri\u00e8re le Mont Aigu\u201d verweist auf die spezifische Parzellenlage hinter dem Mont Aigu \u2013 ein Mikroterroir, dessen kalkreiche B\u00f6den dem Wein seine charakteristische mineralische Pr\u00e4zision verleihen.<\/p>\n With its 12.0% alcohol and restrained residual sweetness, this champagne presents itself in the classic tradition of the region, but with the unmistakable fingerprint of a winegrowing house that has mastered the balance between tradition and contemporary interpretation. As grand cru<\/strong> from Chouilly - the northernmost Grand Cru of the C\u00f4te des Blancs - it epitomises the elegance and finesse for which this site is famous.<\/p>\n The precise acidity structure and mineral depth of this champagne predestine it as an accompaniment to raw sea fish - a Carpaccio of scallops<\/strong> with citrus zest and sea salt would elegantly emphasise the subtle nuances of the wine. It also harmonises with the salty depth of a mature wine.
