Champagne "Nos Pas Dans la Craie" Chardonnay Nature

Nos Pas Dans la Craie, or 'Our Steps in the Chalk', represents an exploration of terroir and tradition. But let us proceed with order. This is one of the good Champagnes offered by Maison Marie Copinet. Specifically, it is a Blanc de Blancs, made from 100% Chardonnay grapes from a single plot in Cuchery. This village, located in the Côte des Blancs, is renowned for its ability to give Chardonnays a vibrant minerality and unique aromatic complexity. A single plot over 40 years old, where sustainable and environmentally friendly viticulture is practised, with the aim of preserving the integrity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir. The decision to use only Chardonnay grapes for this Champagne allows the characteristics of this noble grape variety to be enhanced. The result is a wine of brilliant straw yellow colour, with a fine and persistent perlage. The nose reveals aromas of citrus fruits, white-fleshed fruit, white flowers and mineral notes. The taste is fresh and vibrant, with a nice acidity accompanying a persistent, mineral finish. The zero dosage is then a stylistic choice that allows the minerality of the terroir and the authenticity of the wine to be enhanced. This Champagne pairs well with fish starters, light first courses and white meats. To be uncorked while still young, to best appreciate its liveliness and fruity expression.
