Champagne Clandestin
Les Grandes Lignes Brut Nature Chardonnay
Champagne, France
Such a pristine looking medium straw color with a nice plethora of tiny bubbles in the glass. Innate creaminess and vivacity. The nose shocks you with a sudden burst of citrus fruits right off the bat. Honeysuckle and fresh lemon aromas along with a slight touch of kiwi. There’s a nice floral element to this nose with a blooming meadow and delicate violets. Apples really begin to take over an hour after opening the bottle.
These Clandestin champagnes are truly all stunners and so terroir driven. Pure Chardonnay from the Côte des Bar in the Aube region of champagne. With no added dosage, the acidity is expectedly brilliant though not too pronounced. The complexity takes this above several other Blanc de Blancs as you can sit with this for hours. Despite being so light on its feet, this is most certainly a deep wine.
Lively and delicious in the mouth, this is a long and exciting pour. Jasmine and apples start the party off with a really nice streak of spice running throughout. The white fruits on the palate are pure joy. Nice length here as well with a chalky finish. Such underrated champagnes that everyone should try.
