Zero dosage, 2009 vintage, and aged more than a decade on lees. The Brut Nature is the most technically demanding cuvée in the Identitaires & Authentiques range: no malolactic fermentation, no added sugar at disgorgement, and a blend that for the 2009 edition combines 42% Chardonnay, 38% Pinot Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir. 2009 was a warm, generous vintage in Champagne, the ripeness of the fruit supports the zero-dosage approach better than almost any other year could. A champagne that is uncompromising in its honesty. Tasting notes: The fruit of patience. Rich and evolved on the nose with the depth of over a decade of lees contact. On the palate: citrus and yellow fruit freshness alongside the complex autolytic notes of brioche and toast, with a clean, dry finish that invites a second sip. Food pairing: A contemplative champagne for exceptional occasions. Outstanding with caviar, noble shellfish, fine oysters and the most delicate fish preparations.
