Champagne Louis Nicaise Brut Noir Blanc de Noirs MV

Louis Nicaise Vintage MV Country France Region Champagne Appellation Champagne Wine Type sparkling Varietals Pinot Noir Vineyard This limited-production Champagne is composed of 100% Pinot Noir from clonally diverse Pinot Noir vines planted in 1969. 60% of the fruit is from 2015 with the rest drawn from a solera started in 2006. Vinification 70% of the wine was fermented in barrels made with oak from a nearby (Hautviller) forest. The vin clairs were aged for six months in barrel with half the juice going through maololactic fermentation. After 2 and one-half years aging on the yeast this edition of "Noir" was disgorged with a dosage of 8g/L. Notes In the glass it sports a rosy onion skin hue coupled with an energetic mousse that releases fresh aromas of strawberry short cake, carob, toast and lemon zest. Its vibrant front palate delivers delectable essences of tart cherries, pears and lemon drops that gradually gives way to a long, tangy mineral-laden finish. Back to Current Releases
