Hergestellt aus 100% Pinot Noir, stammt es von einer kleinen Parzelle, die auf kimmeridgischem Boden liegt und Aromen von frischem Obst, Eindrücke von Brotkruste und Erinnerungen an Patisserie verbreitet. Der Schluck ist reich an Spannung und Dynamik mit einem mineralischen und zitrischen Profil.
The Champagne Brut Nature “Les Semblabes-Austral” by Clandestin is a Vintage that perfectly reflects the vocation of the terroir of the Côte des Bar, highlighting the structured and fresh character of a great pure Pinot Noir, the variety that best expresses itself in the southernmost area of the Champagne region. The domaine was born from the collaboration between Benoît Doussot and Bertrand Gautherot, owner of the famous Maison Vouette & Sorbée. A partnership that has given rise to a high-level maison, capable of offering labels dedicated to the most discerning connoisseurs.
“Les Semblabes-Austral” is a Champagne Brut Nature made by Maison Clandestin, a small artisanal reality that possesses precious vineyards in the Aube region. The company’s philosophy adheres to the utmost respect for the environment with a rigorous application of the principles of certified organic farming by Ecocert. The Pinot Noir grapes come from a vineyard characterized by a sunny west-facing exposure. The mild climate and the soils composed of deep layers of Kimmeridgian limestone, similar to the soils of the Chablis area, are particularly suitable for the cultivation of the noble Burgundian black grape variety. The best bunches selected in the vineyard are gently pressed, and the must ferments spontaneously using only indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The second fermentation takes place according to the Champenoise Method with a 24-month aging on the lees before proceeding to disgorgement.
The Champagne Brut Nature “Les Semblabes-Austral” Clandestin is an excellent Vintage from an interesting maison in the Aube. Due to its characteristics, it is particularly suitable for pairing with intense fish dishes or white meats. It presents a beautiful straw yellow color with bright reflections, with a persistent and fine perlage. The olfactory profile is characterized by notes of lemon zest, ripe citrus, white-fleshed fruit, delight apple, peach, hints of bread crust, of pastry and dried fruit. On the palate, it reveals a good structure, with a decisive vertical lift, which gives the sip a clear expressive tension. Of good complexity and persistence, it finishes on salty and very fresh notes.
