Champagne Lombard Brut Nature Verzenay Grand Cru

Champagne Blanc de Noirs from Champagne
Vintage: NV
Volume:750ml

This Brut Nature champagne from Maison Lombard comes from a Grand Cru terroir of the Montagne de Reims: Verzenay. This cuvée is part of the “Terroir” range, a plot and mono-crus selection in Brut Nature.The wines spend four to five years in the cellar, which effectively allows a beautiful expression of the terroir. Due to the cooler climate and the characteristic draining of the soils, the Verzenay terroir produces Pinots Noirs which are expressed with great finesse and tension. After 8 months of aging in stainless steel vats, the wine remained between 48 to 60 months, in the cellars of the House located 11 meters underground.This grand cru is non-dosed to appreciate its mineral and salivating identity. The bubbles are chiseled and the foam is delicate. The nose offers sweet notes of brioches, apples, pears and small red fruits. The palate is powerful. It combines a creamy mousse with great freshness underlined by aromas of lemon nuanced by bitter almonds and fruits (black and blue), complemented by mineral and saline flavors. The finish is long and persistent. An exceptional champagne to enjoy as an aperitif or with shellfish. The almost tangy finesse of Verzenay Pinot Noirs subtly reveals the spices of peppery white meats, or in a sauce with curry or saffron.
