Seconde Nature 2017 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Cuvée Seconde Nature 2017, by Bonnet-Ponson, is a balanced, fresh champagne with lovely aromatic complexity.

This cuvée, made with cœurs de cuvée from the 2017 harvest, is blended with 45% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier. The grapes come from the localities of "les Vigneules", "les Spectres" and "les Caquerets", a commune classified as a Premier Cru on the Montagne de Reims. These vines, planted 30 years ago, benefit from south-east exposure, clay-limestone soil and a sandy subsoil rich in fossilized shells.

This Seconde Nature 2017 champagne is vinified without sulfites, fining or filtration, in 228- to 400-liter barrels. It undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged on fine lees for 9 months. This cuvée is not dosed to preserve the characteristics of the vintage.

This champagne exhales beautiful floral, spicy and fruity notes. A lively attack on the palate, followed by a clean, pure mid-palate. The structure is straightforward, and fresh, lemony notes accompany the vinosity and fruitiness of the Pinots. The finish is supported by a salivating mineral texture.

This cuvée Seconde Nature 2017, balanced between minerality and freshness, is a perfect match for the iodized flavor of seafood.
