Pertois-Lebrun

Derrière Le Mont Aigu n°12 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Cuvée Derrière Le Mont Aigu n°12 is a parcel-based cuvée from one of the estate's finest parellels. This champagne highlights the chalky, saline minerality of the Chouilly terroir.

This cuvée is produced only in the best years by Antoine and Clément Bouret, two brothers who have taken over the family estate. The rich, sunny 2012 vintage produced magnificent grapes from this plot planted in 1955, with a perfect balance between freshness and aromatic expression.

These Chardonnays are vinified and aged in stainless steel vats to sew a beautiful tension.

After bottling, Derrière Le Mont Aigu n°12 spends 6 years in the house cellars, gaining in complexity. Its dosage is Extra Brut, simply highlighting the great minerality of its terroir.

Derrière Le Mont Aigu n°12 by Pertois-Lebrun has a pale gold color with silvery highlights. Its bubbles are fine and delicate.

This Blanc de Blancs champagne opens with notes of chalk, followed by cookie and white flower aromas.

The attack on the palate is frank and lively, carried by great mineral tension. In the mid-palate, pretty citrus notes emerge. The finish is long, lingering for seconds on a touch of iodine.
