Bouteille · 0.75 lBrut Nature
The Brut Nature from Alfred Gratien goes entirely without dosage. It is built on the 2008 harvest, with 15% reserve wines added. The fruit of the Pinot Meunier and the elegance of the Chardonnay shape the cuvée. As is usual at Gratien, it was aged in small oak barrels and malolactic fermentation was blocked. With no sugar, the freshness of the grapes takes centre stage: the style is direct and dynamic, yet marked by a certain baroque richness.
Serve it at around 8 °C in a white wine glass with a little volume. Thanks to its structure, it copes well with foods of firm texture: lobster, cured ham, game birds or mature Gouda. If you like champagne without a cosmetic layer of sugar and prefer tension to easy charm, you will find a clear, characterful interpretation of the house here.
