Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Chardonnay Brut Nature from Ruppert Leroy is made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In the glass, this Champagne displays a bright straw yellow colour and a fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet reveals notes of honeysuckle, white-fleshed fruit, citrus nuances, iodised touches and hints of yeast. On the palate, it stands out for its complex minerality, accompanied by an elegant and harmonious finish. Served at an ideal temperature between 6 and 8°C, this Brut Nature pairs perfectly with seafood dishes, shellfish, fish and cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine comes from the Champagne region, offering an authentic expression of the French terroir. The Ruppert Leroy winery currently manages four hectares of vineyard cultivated according to strict organic methods. The care given to the vines and the deep respect for nature ensure pure and vibrant fruit. This artisanal approach enhances the characteristics of the soil, guaranteeing a marked stylistic consistency and a clear territorial identity.
How it is produced
Vinification strictly follows the Traditional Method under organic conditions, ensuring the utmost respect for environmental balance. The cuvée comes from a perpetual blend of different vintages, a choice that enhances the wine's depth of flavour. The secondary fermentation in the bottle enriches the profile with elegant brioche aromas. Offered completely without added sugar, the Champagne maintains a dry and sharp character, capable of ageing positively in the cellar for five to ten years.
