Description
What kind of wine it is
Champagne Causica Extra Brut Lointier is a Blanc de Noirs with a golden yellow colour, created to fully express the purity of Pinot Meunier. Made according to the Traditional Method, this wine stands out for its taut sensory profile, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage that caresses the palate. The tasting reveals a savoury, complex character with great persistence, ideal for accompanying meals with natural elegance. Organic viticulture enhances the precise and profound traits of this cuvée.
Where it comes from
This expression originates in France, in the territory of the Vallée de la Marne, an area renowned for its excellent viticulture. Lointier manages the vineyards with sustainable and organic practices, capturing the authentic territorial imprint of the region. Thanks to its well-defined structure, the wine is suitable for medium-term ageing in the cellar, evolving and expressing new aromatic nuances. At the table, its pronounced savoury streak beautifully enhances delicate starters and pairs impeccably with crudités and sushi, never overpowering the flavour of the raw ingredients.
How it is produced
Production follows the strict standards of the Traditional Method, with initial maturation carried out both in oak barrels and amphorae, a technical choice aimed at imparting a deep gustatory definition. The long period on the lees enriches the bouquet, where fresh fruit aromas blend with distinct fragrant notes. At disgorgement, the winery opts for minimal dosage, with residual sugars of 1.5 g/L, keeping the sip dry and structured. This artisanal care preserves the natural freshness of the fruit and amplifies its complexity.
History and Curiosities
