FEATURES
🏰The Petit Clergeot Les Commes Brut Nature R22 is a 【vibrant and energetic Blanc de Noirs Champagne, crafted from 100% Pinot Noir from old vines in the Côte des Bar, showcasing a purist style with zero dosage and a chiseled expression of its limestone and clay terroir】. The 2022 vintage in Champagne was exceptional, declared a "solar" vintage with outstanding quality and high yields. Favorable conditions, including minimal frost damage and well-timed August rains, led to healthy, fully ripe fruit. This particular cuvée, with "R22" indicating its 2022 base vintage, is a testament to Paul-Bastien Clergeot's organic, plot-by-plot farming philosophy in Polisot. It is vinified in a mix of stainless steel tanks and barrels, with a minimum of 24 months aging on lees and bottled without final dosage, preserving the purity of the fruit. It presents a pale golden yellow color with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is expressive, offering notes of white flowers, candied citrus, subtle buttery hints, red berries, brioche, delicate yeast, and mineral nuances. On the palate, it delivers an exceptional equilibrium of freshness and sharpness with fruitiness and silkiness, taut and saline, with lively acidity and a creamy texture. Expect flavors of strawberries, almonds, and a fine mineral spice, leading to a persistent, mineral finish.
