Pertois-Lebrun

Le Fond du Bateau N°15 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Fond du Bateau 2015, signed Pertois-Lebrun, is a champagne with a remarkable balance between power and finesse, but also between aromatic generosity and gentle minerality. This is the first parcel-based cuvée from a House collection called "Les Fidèles".

The Chardonnays for this Blanc de Blancs come exclusively from a parcel planted in 1955 by Clément and Antoine's grandfather in the locality of "Le Fond du Bateau" in Chouilly Grand Cru.

This cuvée was aged in concrete vats (65%) and oak barrels (35%) for 10 months, with a very low dosage of 2 g/L to preserve all its aromas. This champagne matures in the House cellars for a minimum of 6 years.

The nose reveals delicate notes of ripe citrus fruit, lychee and pineapple, followed by light vanilla and toasted aromas, with a hint of licorice, typical of the chalk of this terroir.

In the mouth, the attack is supple and fresh, then opens onto a round, generous palate. The lingering finish is supported by acidulous, chalky notes.

This 2015 Le Fond du Bateau champagne is a perfect accompaniment to poularde à la crème or a bass and crayfish cassolette with champagne sauce.
