Description
What kind of wine is it
Clandestin Champagne Les Passagers Haut de Val Barmont Brut Nature is a Blanc de Blancs made from Chardonnay grapes. It displays a straw yellow colour with golden highlights and a fine, persistent perlage. The aromatic bouquet weaves together floral hints, fruity notes and touches of patisserie. On the palate, it expresses the rigorous dryness typical of zero dosage, offering a fresh, deep and distinctly mineral sip. Served at the right temperature, it is ideal for accompanying refined starters, fish dishes and shellfish.
Where does it come from
This wine originates from the renowned Champagne region in France. The Clandestin project brings together the expertise of Bertrand Gautherot and Benoît Doussot with the aim of interpreting the terroir through a taut and essential expression. This cuvée reflects the territorial identity of the original vineyard thanks to a direct and clean style. The result is a glass capable of releasing a vibrant freshness and a pronounced mineral structure, without any compromise on quality.
How is it produced
The production follows the rigorous steps of the Traditional Method, a distinctive and fundamental element for the making of Champagne. The vinification adopts the Brut Nature style, excluding the addition of sugar dosage at the end of the process. This production choice allows the absolute aromatic purity of the grapes to be preserved, resulting in a dry and vertical sensory profile. Ageing on the lees defines the delicate patisserie notes and creates a fine mousse, enhancing the lively gustatory tension of the wine.
