Lombard

Brut Nature Cramant Grand Cru Lieu-dit Les Bauves | Bottle 75cl

Description

Lombard's Brut Nature Cramant Grand Cru Les Bauves is a Blanc de Blancs champagne that combines the freshness of chalk with the beautiful aromas of the Cramant terroir.

The Les Bauves parcel faces due east. It's a small parcel of 26 ares, where the sun rises, preserving its freshness.

Brut Nature Cramant Grand Cru Les Bauves Lombard is a Blanc de Blancs champagne, i.e. a champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay. It is vinified in stainless steel tanks, then aged in oak barrels for 6 to 8 months, with light stirring of the lees. Malolactic fermentation is blocked to emphasize the wine's energy.

This cuvée then spends 4 to 5 years in the house cellars in Epernay to develop its aromatic complexity.

The Brut Nature Cramant Grand Cru Les Bauves Lombard has a fresh, very fine nose, then opens up to fuller aromas of sweet spices and white flowers.

On the palate, the attack is frank and direct. On the mid-palate, we find the beautiful m'inhales tension characteristic of Cramant's Grand Cru terroir. The finish is fruity, with a beautiful complexity that evokes vanilla but also a touch of iodine.

A superb cuvée to accompany a fine aperitif, but also shellfish or a noble fish such as sole.
