Brut Nature Blanc de Blanc NV'

Chardonnay, Côte des Bares, France

Gather your bejewelled chalices for this ever so precise, field of dreams Champagne. Grown biodynamically in the village of Essoyes – nearly atop the Burgundian border – on gently mineral inflecting ancient limestone & clay soils. Fought over allocations, bottled without dosage, a testament to the full ripeness that Gerard and Benedicte achieve through their conscious farming. A buzzing honeycomb, golden delicious apples, candied lemon-mint leaves, white tea, creamy quince caramel, warmed hazelnuts, and a runway-long finish of chiseled, chalky, mineral finesse. Drink on the eve of your wedding – to yourself, because honey, you’ve earned it – alongside a masterful pairing of a generously buttered mushroom risotto.
