This glorious Champagne is full of crystalline purity, with its flavors of lemon confit, white flowers, and red cherry. The exquisite bubbles are perfectly measured, leading to a long and textured finish. An absolute gem.
1/3rd Pinot Noir, 1/3rd Chardonnay, 1/3rd Pinot Meunier from a practicing organic 3.5 ha parcel of 40+ year-old vines in the village of Trigny, directly adjacent to the village of Merfy. Aged 36 months on the lees.
Vinous Review:
The NV (2019) Extra Brut Les Prémices is a heady Champagne. Apricot, ginger, pastry, spice and tangerine peel confer an exotic flair, a theme that is ever-present. Rich and generous, with tons of textural presence, the 2019 is striking in its beauty. Dosage is 1 gram per liter. Disgorged: July 2023.
