NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Chartogne-Taillet Les Barres Extra Brut is an exceptional Champagne that showcases the expertise and craftsmanship of the producer.This wine is made using a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, carefully selected from the vineyards in the Champagne region of France.
On the nose, this Champagne offers a delicate and complex bouquet of citrus fruits, green apples, and white flowers. The aromas are vibrant and refreshing, with a subtle hint of brioche and toasted almonds.
The palate is equally impressive, with a fine and persistent mousse that dances on the tongue. The flavors are well-balanced, combining the crispness of citrus fruits with the richness of ripe apples. There is a beautiful tension between the acidity and the creamy texture, creating a harmonious and elegant mouthfeel.
Chartogne-Taillet Les Barres Extra Brut is a bone-dry Champagne, with a low dosage that allows the purity of the fruit to shine through. The finish is long and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of citrus zest and minerality.
This wine is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a Champagne with finesse and precision. It pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes, such as oysters or grilled fish, as well as with creamy cheeses. Enjoy it now or cellar it for a few years to allow it to develop further complexity.
