Product Description
Deeply rooted in Les Riceys, Alexandre Bonnet honors the kimmeridgian terroir with this historic 2020 vintage. A 94-point masterpiece according to Falstaff, this Brut Nature is a rare "Les Contrées" blend of all seven authorized champagne varieties: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Arbane, and Petit Meslier. By preserving forgotten grapes like Arbane and Petit Meslier, the winemaking achieves a symphonic complexity. Aged for thirty-six months with zero dosage, this champagne is praised for its profound tension and power. It is a favorite for aficionados seeking a distinctive, multi-dimensional experience of the Aube’s viticultural heritage.
The palate reveals honeysuckle, apricot, and candied orange peel. Finishing with a salty, chalky persistence, this champagne remains exceptionally vibrant and focused.
