Champagne Bulles de Comptoir 13 Extra Brut

What kind of wine it is

Bulles de Comptoir by Charles Dufour is an elegant Champagne created from a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. Crafted according to the strict practices of the Traditional Method, it appears in the glass with a bright straw yellow colour, enlivened by a fine and lively perlage. The bouquet reveals complex aromas of small red fruits, yellow-fleshed fruit, mature citrus and bread crust, enriched by subtle toasted and woody nuances. On the palate, it is fresh and agile, supported by a pronounced saline structure and elegant bitter notes that provide precision, offering a taut and satisfying sip.

Where it comes from

This wine is produced in Landreville, in the heart of the Champagne region. The producer, Charles Dufour, cultivates his vineyards following the principles of organic and sustainable agriculture, in full respect of the local ecosystem. This agronomic approach enhances the unique characteristics of the area, delivering an authentic expression of the region in the glass. The distinctive soil is directly reflected in the wine’s mineral imprint, ensuring a perfect natural balance between fruit ripeness and gustatory tension. The meticulous care in the vineyard allows for the production of high-quality grapes, essential for a cuvée with remarkable longevity.

How it is produced

The production of this Extra Brut is based on a careful blend of reserve wines, a cellar choice that imparts aromatic depth and a layered flavour profile. The extended ageing on the lees refines the wine’s character, resulting in a clean and dry finish. Served at an ideal temperature between 6 and 8°C, it expresses its elegance perfectly from the aperitif onwards. At the table, it creates a harmonious pairing with dishes based on delicate fish, ceviche and shellfish. Thanks to its vibrant freshness and incisive palate, it is also perfect for accompanying mature cheeses, offering a balanced and complex tasting experience.
