Champagne Grand Cru, Particules Crayeuses, Extra Brut, proposed here by Maison Waris-Larmandier is a wine of great intensity and purity that represents the essence of the Côte des Blancs. It is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes from vineyards classified as Grand Cru located in the communes of Chouilly, Cramant, Avize, Oger and Mesnil-sur-Oger. The Côte des Blancs, this should be remembered, is a region renowned for its chalky soils, which give the wines a distinctive minerality. The Chardonnay grapes that make up this Champagne also benefit from a cool and temperate climate, ideal for their slow and uniform ripening. Its dosage, less than 6 grams per litre, classifies it as Extra Brut, characterised by a pleasant dryness and lively acidity. In the Champagne Grand Cru Particules Crayeuses Extra Brut glass, it has a brilliant straw yellow colour. On the nose, it reveals a complex and fascinating bouquet, dominated by notes of citrus fruits, white fruits, wild flowers and chalk. On the palate, it is fresh and vibrant, with a fine, persistent bubble. The minerality of the terroir is felt on the finish and leaves a pleasant sensation of freshness and sapidity. A super versatile wine, it goes perfectly with fish starters, shellfish, fish dishes and fresh cheeses. Its freshness and minerality, however, also make it excellent in combination with spicy or piquant dishes. A label not to be missed if we are lovers of elegant, mineral and complex wines.
