The Extra Brut dosage at disgorgement finally ensures a crisp, taut and elegant sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in Vrigny on an estate whose history dates back to 1842, Guillaume Sergent's Pataphysique Extra Brut 2018 expresses the most authentic essence of Champagne.
