Description
What kind of wine it is
Barbichon's Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is an organic wine of great character. This blend of white grapes combines the elegance of Chardonnay with the finesse of Pinot Blanc, presenting itself with a bright straw yellow colour. On the nose, it offers a defined bouquet, with floral notes of magnolia and fresh hints of citrus and pear. On the palate, it is fragrant and lively, supported by pronounced acidity. The sip is vibrant, enriched by hints of mint and a chalky profile, harmoniously alternating flavours of white fruit with subtle sensations of small red berries.
Where it comes from
This cuvée originates in Gye-sur-Seine, in the heart of Champagne, France. Barbichon, now in its third generation, manages the vineyards through strict organic farming practices and biodynamic principles. The expression of the soil is found in the glass, where the marked mineral imprint defines an authentic identity. The care devoted to meticulous artisan production allows the wine to evolve in the cellar for up to fifteen years, developing further complexity. The quality of the work is also evidenced by the award of 92 Decanter points.
How it is produced
This wine is made using the Traditional Method, essential for giving the bubbles tension and finesse. The eco-sustainable approach guides the production process, preserving the purity of the fruit. Served at a serving temperature between 6 and 8°C, this Extra Brut makes an excellent aperitif. Thanks to its driving acidity, it pairs perfectly with fish and shellfish, and also beautifully balances the structure of various types of cheese.
