The essence of the Champagne 4.2 Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut by Lequeux-Mercier is apparent as soon as it is poured into the glass, with its golden color reflecting the purity and richness of Pinot Noir, the only grape variety used in this cuvée. Originating from the lush vineyards located in the prestigious Champagne region, this sparkling wine is the result of a meticulous selection of the best grapes.

The winemaking follows traditional methods, adhering to the strict criteria of the Extra Brut, which limits the addition of sugar to less than 6 grams per liter. This process enhances the natural qualities of Pinot Noir, with a nose that releases notes of fresh red fruits, hints of subtle spices, and a delightful complexity.

On the palate, the Champagne 4.2 Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut surprises with its vibrant acidity and remarkable structure. The fine and persistent bubbles dance on the palate, bringing flavors of green apple, pear, and a slight trace of brioche bread, thanks to adequate aging on the lees.

This Champagne is ideal as an aperitif, but it has the power and complexity to accompany more structured dishes, such as porcini mushroom risotto or rich and aromatic fish dishes. Before serving, it is recommended to let the bottle rest in the refrigerator and to open it a few minutes before consumption to fully appreciate its nuances.

A product that embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of Lequeux-Mercier, perfect for celebrating special occasions or for giving a moment of pure pleasure.
