Extra Brut from the José Michel champagne house is exemplified by its freshness and expressivity in a harmony of fresh citrus fruits.
The house of José Michel is accredited High Environmental Quality, awarded as a result of their efforts to reduce the level of treatments in the vineyard.
The cuvee Extra Brut is a blend of 60% Pinot Meunier for its lovely fruity notes, and 40% Chardonnay for its finesse and lightness.
It is vinified in stainless steel vats and dosed as an Extra Brut, in other words, extremely light dosage (2g/l) in order to leave place for the natural aromas and give expression to the terroir of the domaine José Michel.
The cuvee Extra Brut José Michel is gleaming gold with green highlights and fine, lively bubbles.
Its nose is complex but delicate with notes of white flowers, citrus fruit, apricot and nectarine.
The gourmand palate is beautifully smooth and marked by notes of quince jelly and barley sugar with a delightfully refreshing acidulous touch and a long, lingering finish.
