EPC, founded in 2019, is notable as the first start-up in Champagne, embracing a low-intervention philosophy and a commitment to transparency in its sourcing. Their back labels provide detailed information on the wine's origin, harvest year, grower group, grape varieties, and sugar levels. Expect a bright, pale yellow hue with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles. The bouquet reveals delectable aromas of fresh apple and citrus, accompanied by floral notes, hints of honey, and brioche. On the palate, it's lively and fresh with lovely energy, expressing citrus and white fruit flavors, particularly apple, in an indulgent style. You might also find notes of lemon, green apple, white flowers, and chalky minerality, leading to a precise, energetic texture and a persistent, mineral-tinged finish. 【EPC is the first start-up in Champagne, known for its low-intervention philosophy and transparent sourcing model.】 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This Blanc de Blancs Brut makes an ideal aperitif.
