Aria Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs NV (0.75l)

Aria is Alexis Leconte's 100% Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay, grown in Troissy on limestone, chalk, and clay marl. Two grams of dosage. A superbly fine, chalky-dusty, citrus-laden nose. Added brioche and yeast; all the sensory components are set for Blanc de Blancs. Intense, yet very fine perlage, superbly full lemon, mixed with a stony, chalky character. Wonderfully integrated acidity, magnificent balance, and such freshness. The wine is totally energetic, focused, and dynamic, everything on point. Yet also calm and confident, exuding great elegance, bursting with character. A great champagne experience, a hedonistic accompaniment to Gillardeau oysters, and its tremendous freshness also makes it a perfect aperitif. But what we consider a golden rule applies here too: Champagne almost always works. Chapeau!
