The Champagne tradition is clear. When a harvest, a vintage, is truly exceptional. That is, when the grapes harvested at that particular time, in that particular vineyard really know how to say something more, in that case, and only in that case, one can think of enhancing them with a Millésime. In this case, Charpentier does not disappoint and offers a truly super traditional and enjoyable Extra Brut 2016. Hailing from the Vallée de la Marne, and more precisely from the village of Villers-sous-Chatillon, this Champagne comes from a blend of Chardonnay, half of the mass, and the two Pinots that equally share the other half of the tank. First alcoholic fermentation in thermoregulated vats and oak barrels, the bases in this case also undergo malolactic fermentation, losing some acidity but gaining a truly enviable depth. Otherwise, as the experts say, it's the year talking. To best express its characteristics. Here then in 2016, a broad, fruity bubble but also very deep and saline. The right bottle for those looking for an immediately ready Champagne with low sugar dosage. Clear, bright gold color with fine, delicate bubbles, the nose reveals freshness with a distinct floral aroma. The palate is fresh, with notes of white fruit, grapefruit and a soft finish. Perfect for accompanying a lunch or dinner with friends as a whole meal. Excellent with fish, ideal with white meats.
