NV Emeline De Sloovere 'Patience' Champagne Extra Brut, Champagne, France
A blend of 75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Meunier from 60-70 year old vines grown on chalk and limestone soils. Made from mainly 2018 vintage fruit, this spent a total of 4.5 years on its lees during first and second fermentations. Bottled “extra-brut” with 3g/l of residual sugar.
The old vines give great concentration of flavor, impressive structure and long length. This Champagne tastes somehow more vinous than most, with nice weight and fruit density and a silky smooth mouthfeel.
