Brut Nature Grand Cru

This Brut Nature Grand Cru from Lombard combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in equal parts. The Chardonnay grows on the chalk soils of the Côte des Blancs and brings finesse and tension. The Pinot Noir comes from the southern part of the Montagne de Reims, from clay and limestone soils, and adds more fullness. All the plots are classified grand cru. It was aged in barrel, and the slight micro-oxygenation shapes the wine. There is no dosage.

On the nose, white fruit meets toasted notes, roasted almonds, vanilla and a hint of curry. The palate is full-bodied, taut and long. That suits oysters smoked over pine wood, smoked scallops, coconut mousse or desserts with dried fruit. We recommend 10 to 12 °C and a large white wine glass.
