The NV Extra-Brut Clarevallis evokes aromas of red berries, spring flowers, chalk, spices and crushed stones. Medium-bodied, tense and straight, it's pure and crystalline, with a pinpoint mousse and a long, ethereal, refined phenolic finish enhanced by chalky dry extracts. This blend of 75% Pinot Noir, 10% Pinot Meunier, 10% Chardonnay and 5% Blanc Vrai, sourced from the Kimmeridgian soils of Urville, was disgorged with a dosage of four grams per liter. A real success, it’s quite approachable now but will benefit from 4-5 years of additional aging in the cellar. (YC)
