Julie Dufour's Cléobuline Chapitre 3 Extra Brut represents a new chapter for this dedicated winemaker, who began crafting her own organic Champagne in 2019 after taking over a portion of her family's historic estate. This particular cuvée, "Chapitre 3," is a single-plot expression from La Chachigne, primarily blending Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It stands as a true grower Champagne, celebrated for its refined, terroir-driven character and a contemporary extra-brut profile that honors family heritage. 【 Grower Champagne with precision, purity, and a beautifully dry finish 】 In the glass, the Cléobuline reveals a luminous pale gold hue with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles. The nose is elegant and focused, offering aromas of citrus zest, crisp green apple, and pear, complemented by hints of white flowers, chalk, and lightly toasted brioche, with subtle notes of almond, fresh butter, and a touch of red berry. On the palate, it is taut and mineral-driven, delivering a sleek, dry attack with vibrant acidity. Flavors of lemon, grapefruit, orchard fruits, and yellow plum are layered with saline, chalky nuances, and a touch of spice, culminating in a crystalline and precise finish due to its low dosage. Food pairing suggestions: This Extra Brut Champagne is a versatile partner for refined and delicate dishes where freshness and precision are key. It pairs beautifully with poultry, roasted fish, fine cheeses, fish and crustacean dishes, or a terrine de brochet. It's also an excellent aperitif. Event suggestions: The Julie Dufour Cléobuline Chapitre 3 Extra Brut is perfect for an elegant aperitif, a sophisticated brunch, or to kick off any celebration. Its precision and dry finish also make it an ideal companion for a gastronomic meal.
