Brut 2015

Brut 2015 is an organically grown vintage champagne, made up of 80 per cent Pinot Noir and 20 per cent Chardonnay. The grapes come from grand cru sites. The wine first spends ten months in barrel, then lies four years on the lees. This long time usually shows in a creamy texture and a fine depth. It is dosed as an Extra Brut.

At just 1,700 bottles, the quantity of this vintage is very small. The Pinot Noir gives the champagne body and fruit richness, while the Chardonnay provides tension and clarity. It goes with pan-fried fish, veal, poultry in a cream sauce or mushroom dishes. Pour it at 10 to 12 degrees in a white wine glass or a Burgundy glass, so it has room to open up.
