Brut Nature Chouilly Grand Cru

The Cuvée Chouilly belongs to Lombard's "Terroir" range, a selection of single sites and mono-crus, all without dosage. Here pure Chardonnay from the clay and limestone soils of Chouilly on the Côte des Blancs fills the glass. The first fermentation took place in stainless steel tank, after which the wine rested six months in barrel and then four to five years on the bottle.

The result is a Brut Nature with plenty of citrus. The nose is expressive with fine, tart aromas, and on the palate the citrus feels silky and is carried by the minerality. Without dosage, the freshness comes through quite openly. The house recommends it with dishes with iodine aromas, such as oysters or raw seafood. Drink it at 9 to 11 °C from a white wine glass.
