Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature

For EPC's Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature, no sugar was added at all. The pure Chardonnay grows on the slopes of the Sézannais and is made by a group of growers in Bethon. What remains is pure fruit without make-up: aromas of sun-ripened citrus, plus mineral notes, carried by a palpable freshness. The champagne feels fine and straightforward.

Because of its dryness, it suits raw and delicate ingredients. Try it with scallop tartare or sea bream ceviche, or simply as an aperitif. The temperature should be 7 to 9 degrees, as warmer would make the acidity feel sharper. In a Blida glass or a white wine glass the citrus notes open up nicely. The heat-sensitive indicator on the bottle tells you when it is ready.
