L'Ambitieuse | Bottle 75cl

Description

Cuvée L'Ambitieuse is an elegant Blanc de Blancs champagne, with lovely notes of citrus and ripe fruit. It's perfect as an aperitif or with fish dishes.

To create this champagne, Antoine and Clément Bouret, two brothers who took over the family estate, blend their plots of land in Chouilly and Mesnil-sur-Oger, two highly complementary Grand Cru terroirs in the Côte des Blancs. Where Chouilly brings roundness and fruit, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger brings minerality and tension.

The Chardonnays are vinified and aged partly in stainless steel vats and partly in oak barrels.

After bottling, L'Ambitieuse spends 5 to 6 years in the house cellars, gaining in complexity. Its dosage is Extra Brut, simply highlighting the great minerality of the Côte des Blancs terroirs.

Ambitieuse by Pertois-Lebrun has a golden color with pale yellow highlights. Its bubbles are fine, lively and persistent.

The nose reveals citrus notes, a touch of chalk, and rich pastry and fruit aromas.

The palate is full-bodied and lively, with a lovely, mellow effervescence. On the palate, we discover lovely lemony notes, and always that characteristic minerality.

The finish is long, persistent and delicately iodized.
