About Clotilde Davenne NV Cremant de Bourgogne, Extra Brut
Along with the wonderful range of wines Clotilde Davenne bottles from her estate holdings, she has access to fruit from premier and grand cru vineyards in Chablis grown by vignerons who work to her exacting specification. In her own vines, Clotilde is working as naturally as possible, without the use of chemicals, and almost all of her production is harvested by hand. In the cellar all the wines undergo malolactic fermentation, a conscious decision by Clotilde, as she feels it brings greater complexity to the wines.
This is her sparkling wine which mirrors Champagne. Grapes from vineyards in Prehy where her winery is located, growing in the Kimmeridgien calcaire soils are hand harvested and vinified champagne method with no dosage. The wine ages 18 months on the lees. The blend is 40% Chardonnay 60% Pinot Noir.
Wine Enthusiast Magazine scored this 91 points saying "Ripe yellow apple is edged with lemon on this wine's nose. On the palate that richness is pulled into taut, slender focus by full lemon freshness. Salty tanginess clings to the yeasty backdrop, making this wine totally appetizing with its apple, lemon and salt combo on the dry, long finish."
