Description

Product description for Louise Brison Chardonnay de la Côte des Bar, Brut Nature 2016

Wine Information

This champagne is a 100% Chardonnay from the 2016 vintage. The vineyards of Champagne Louise Brison are located at an altitude of approximately 320 m and are characterized by Kimmeridge limestone and marl with a clay overlay – similar to that in neighboring Chablis. The base wines were fermented in barriques, the assemblage was blended in stainless steel, and bottled in June 2017. Disgorgement with zero dosage took place in January 2014.

Colour

Medium straw yellow with lively perlage

Nose

The 2016 Chardonnay de la Côte des Bar continues the tradition of a remarkably uncompromising, clear, and absolutely precise Chardonnay Champagne from the Kimmerdinger limestone. Delphine Brulez, the granddaughter of Louise Brison, produces a champagne that can never be confused with a Côte des Blancs, combining fine oxidation with notes of noisette, lemon meringue, ground oyster shells, dried herbs, and stone.

Palate

On the palate, the 2016 Chardonnay de la Côte des Bar is vinous and full-bodied, yet absolutely precise, clear, and chalky, with a remarkable mouthfeel that combines silkiness with chalkiness and a light phenolic note. The Kimmerdig limestone, with its vital acidity, is almost perfectly integrated here. The result is a champagne with citrus fruits, a hint of sherry, yellow fruits, iodine, and stone, with fine perlage and pleasant punch right through to the long finish.
