Brut Nature Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs

This blanc de blancs from Lombard's Signature range is 100% Chardonnay from four grand cru villages of the Côte des Blancs. Mesnil-sur-Oger brings tension and minerality, Chouilly and Cramant contribute roundness and fullness, and Avize the finesse. The wine matured for two years in the cellar. No dosage is added, so the chalky character of the Côte des Blancs shows itself undisguised.

The nose shows citrus fruit and pear with a light roasted note. On the palate it starts fresh and pure, then honey and hazelnut join in. The style is direct yet generous and deep. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass with some volume. It goes well with iodine-rich dishes, poultry or fish in a sauce, and a menu with clean, precise cooking is its natural setting.
