The Brice Allouchery 1er Cru Les Lavats Extra Brut 2020 hails from Écueil, a Premier Cru village in the heart of Champagne, where Brice Allouchery took over his family's domaine in 2018. This specific bottling is sourced entirely from "Les Lavats," a single parcel with unique, extremely sandy soils, where the Pinot Noir vines were planted in 1981. Brice farms organically, ferments with indigenous yeasts in 500-liter wooden barrels for 10 months, and then allows the wine to mature for 36 months in the bottle before release. The "Extra Brut" designation indicates a very low sugar dosage, less than 6 grams per liter, highlighting the wine's natural richness and terroir expression. 【Unique sandy soils of Les Lavats】 Tasting Notes: This 100% Pinot Noir Champagne offers a unique expression, trading heavy power for finesse and a silky texture. It presents restrained red berries, candied orange peel, and warm brioche notes, with a lovely balance and iodine salinity. Community reviews describe it as complex and really great. Food Pairing: This versatile sparkling wine pairs wonderfully with grilled fish, raw fish, chicken, pork, shellfish, and mild and soft cheeses. Fit for Event: The Brice Allouchery 1er Cru Les Lavats Extra Brut 2020 is an excellent choice for an aperitif, a romantic date night, or a gathering with parents. Its finesse and complexity also make it a fantastic companion for game night with sushi delivery and cold soba noodles.
