Champagne Millesimè Extra Brut - Lequeux-Mercier 2008

The Millesimé Extra Brut Champagne by Lequeux-Mercier represents an elegant testament to the sparkling wine craft of the French maison, located in the heart of the renowned Champagne region. This wine is the result of a careful selection of the finest grapes available to the winery, marking a distinctive and character-rich vintage.

The Millesimé Extra Brut by Lequeux-Mercier stands out for its vivacity and freshness, the result of a rigorous and meticulous winemaking process. The very low sugar dosage after the second fermentation enhances the purity and authenticity of the terroir, allowing the fruity and mineral notes to emerge with elegance.

On the nose, this champagne opens with delicate aromas of citrus, white peach, and subtle touches of fresh yeast and brioche bread, a clear sign of its long maturation on the yeasts. The complexity increases as the wine oxygenates in the glass, revealing deeper layers of dried fruit and sweet spices.

On the palate, the Millesimé has a well-balanced structure, with a sharp freshness and a creamy mousse that harmoniously blend with a long-lasting taste. The notes of citrus and white-fleshed fruit dominate, followed by a fine minerality that cleanses the palate, inviting another sip.

Best served between 8 and 12 degrees Celsius, the Millesimé Extra Brut Champagne by Lequeux-Mercier is perfect as an aperitif, but also pairs beautifully with dishes of raw or lightly cooked fish, such as oysters or salmon tartare. A tasting experience that celebrates excellence and the pure expression of the Champenoise terroir, ideal for special moments and celebrations.
