Goutorbe Bouillot

Louise B. Extra Brut 2015 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Cuvée Louise B. is a tribute to Louise Bouillot, a woman of character who accompanied Maison Goutorbe Bouillot's first sparkling wines as early as 1911.

It's a cuvée that blends a majority of Chardonnay (70%), bringing freshness and vivacity, with Pinots Noirs (30%) offering fruit and structure.

For this vintage cuvée, made only in great years, Bastien Papleux selects the best wines from the harvest.

The year 2015 was marked by intense heat. A year that began with a mild, wet winter and continued with a hot, dry summer. Thanks to a cool late summer, ripening produced juicy, ripe, concentrated grapes - a spectacular vintage.

Malolactic fermentation is not carried out in order to preserve the wine's high tension.

After bottling, the wine rests in our cellars for almost 6 years. Its dosage of 4g/L (Extra Brut) underlines the wine's nuances...

Cuvée Louise B. 2015 Goutorbe Bouillot has a pale gold color with silvery highlights.

On the nose, it's a very elegant champagne, with fresh, minty notes, a touch of citrus, and finally more gourmand evocations.

On the palate, the wine is ample, fresh and perfectly balanced between power and elegance. The palate is full, stretching gently to a round, generous finish.
