Lombard

Brut Nature Cramant Grand Cru Lieu-dit Les Bauves | Bottle 75cl

Description

The Brut Nature Cramant Grand Cru Les Bauves produced by Lombard is a Blanc de Blancs champagne that combines the freshness of chalk with the beautiful aromatics of the Cramant terroir.

The Les Bauves plot faces east. It is a small 26-acre plot that sees the sun rise and thus retains a beautiful freshness.

Brut Nature Cramant Grand Cru Les Bauves Lombard is a Blanc de Blancs champagne, meaning it is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. It is vinified in stainless steel vats, then aged in oak barrels for 6 to 8 months with light stirring. Malolactic fermentation is blocked to highlight the wine's beautiful energy.

This cuvée then spends 4 to 5 years in the cellars of the house in Epernay to develop its aromatic complexity.

The Brut Nature Cramant Grand Cru Les Bauves Lombard offers a fresh, very delicate nose, which then opens up to more full-bodied aromas of sweet spices and white flowers.

On the palate, this cuvée has a frank, direct attack. In the mid-palate, we find the beautiful tension characteristic of the Grand Cru terroir of Cramant. The finish is fruity, with a beautiful complexity that evokes vanilla but also a touch of iodine.

A superb cuvée that will accompany a nice aperitif, but also shellfish or a noble fish such as sole.
