Cramant Nature 2017 AOC Coteaux Champenois

The Cramant Nature 2017 is a still white wine, not a sparkling champagne: a Coteaux Champenois made from pure Chardonnay, which Larmandier-Bernier harvested in Cramant. With it, the house picks up a historic cuvée that built the Larmandier family's reputation at the beginning of the 20th century. Even the first barrel samples recalled the white coteaux the family used to make. From that came the wish to show the terroir of Cramant without bubbles.

In the glass there is chalk alongside the freshness of pink grapefruit, plus an unusual finesse. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C in a medium-sized white wine glass. It goes with seafood, steamed fish and fresh goat's cheese. For lovers of Chardonnay and mineral wines, it is a discovery in its own right.
