Champagne Pinot-Chevauchet 'Généreuse' Brut Nature (750ml)

100% Pinot Meunier

The Pinot-Chevauchet ‘Généreuse’ is a Brut Nature Blanc de Noirs, crafted entirely from 100% Pinot Meunier, showcasing the richness of this unique varietal. It comprises a blend of 70% base wine and 30% reserve wine, having spent 6 years on the lees to develop complexity and depth, followed by an additional year of rest after disgorgement. With no dosage, the wine retains its pure expression, reflecting the chalky clay and limestone soils from which it was born. The nose is vibrant, revealing enticing aromas of white fruits, white blossoms, and a distinct mineral quality. The palate showcases a balanced attack of intensity and sweet fruit, featuring notes of apples, aromatic honey, and mineral undertones, all wrapped in an amazing texture. A slightly salty finish enhances its character, with lingering impressions of white flowers. This exquisite wine pairs beautifully with seafood, enhancing its savory profile and making it a delightful complement to a variety of dishes.
