Goutorbe Bouillot

Champs de Craie Extra Brut | Bottle 75cl

Description

Cuvée Champs de Craie from Goutorbe Bouillot is an elegant, gourmet champagne with a creamy, round mouthfeel.

This Blanc de Blancs is made from Chardonnays from the slopes of the Damery terroir, clay-limestone soils offering both richness and minerality.

Champs de Craie is based on the marriage of the year's wines and a perpetual reserve, one-third of which began in 2000. This balancing act allows the cuvée to evolve on the edge, between the richness and density of the perpetual and the youthfulness of the base year. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out in order to preserve the wine's great tension.

After bottling, the wine rests for 30 months in the house cellars. The dosage of 2g/L (Extra Brut) just highlights the wine's nuances.

Cuvée Champs de Craie has a pale yellow color with green highlights and fine bubbles.

The nose reveals notes of jasmine, acacia, citrus and fresh brioche.

The palate is full-bodied, with a round attack. The mid-palate is creamy and generous, with the wine's mineral tension giving way to a delicious mouthfeel.

The finish remains greedy, with a hint of saltiness that makes it a good match for seafood.
