The portrait of Aline is perceived in this cuvée. This woman, involved without compromise in the estate, focused on the essential. She reinforced the existence of the vineyard. La Natur-Elle, with its purity, opens a breakthrough in Sézannais with 100% chardonnay sourced from this entity. It encapsulates the essence, revealing its richness. The choice of zero dosage highlights the pursuit of excellence and the uncompromising character of both the soil and this woman facing herself.
Nose
The nose is fine and intense, delivering orchard fruits, both ripe and fresh, such as apple, pear, and peach. Chalky, with a delicate veil of autolysis suggesting fresh bread, the nose is complemented by an exotic touch of pineapple over fresh almonds. The entry is clear, fresh, and juicy at its core, imprinted with creamy and tonic bubbles, offering density from the lees ageing. Between ripe citrus and an evolving tempo towards apple, peach, and almond, it presents a subtle firmness that leads to a sapid finish, with lingering citrus zest and a saline hint. A beautiful harmony between the lively texture and youthful scents, yet with a certain seriousness. Best kept under cork for another 3-4 years.
Mouth
This Champagne supports its singularity on the palate. It initiates another universe. Dense nuances, with a different power, testify to the impact of the terroir and the zero dosage. Together, they infuse sumptuous, mineral notes that touch flint and gunflint.
