Jacques Lassaigne's Extra Brut Reserve hails from Montgueux, a unique Chardonnay terroir in Champagne often dubbed the 【"Montrachet of Champagne" reflecting the unique Montgueux chalky terroir】. Emmanuel Lassaigne, a key figure in establishing Montgueux, meticulously crafts these biodynamic and organic Blanc de Blancs Champagnes to express the purest essence of the grapes and soil. The winemaking involves partial cask fermentation, disgorgement without freezing, and no added sulfites or dosage, resulting in an expressive 100% Chardonnay wine reminiscent of Burgundy. Its popularity has seen a considerable rise recently. This Champagne dazzles with a brilliant golden hue and vibrant effervescence. On the nose, it offers aromas of juicy lemons, golden apples, and subtle white flowers, alongside notes of green apples, white peach, freshly baked bread, and pastry cream. The palate is a dry, broad, savory, and fresh sparkling wine, evoking a chalky landscape with vibrant acidity and citrus and orchard fruit flavors. It's medium-bodied and creamy yet dry, with a fine mousse and mouthwatering chalky acidity, leading to a long, refreshing finish that truly showcases the Montgueux terroir. Food pairing suggestions: This versatile Champagne pairs beautifully with oysters, seafood, shellfish, crab salad, sushi, risottos, blue cheeses, pasta, pizzas, and even roast chicken with tarragon or warm Gruyere gougeres. Event suggestions: An ideal choice as a sophisticated aperitif for any refined occasion, perfect for celebrations, special dinners, or as a versatile food-pairing wine at elegant gatherings.
