Champagne H. Blin - L’Esprit Nature - Cuvée Bio Extra Brut

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2019

 (around 30 euros per bottle)
Organic champagne

Neat and harmonious bottle.

Aspect:

Golden, livened up by emerald glints.

Crystal-clear limpidity.

Refined bubbles.

Nose:

Radiant perfumed farandole, source of intense pleasure.

The aromas of apple, pear and citrus fruits, barely iodized and mentholated, gently mingle with touches of almond, hazelnut and exotic fruits, outstanding signatures of the Chardonnay, exclusive varietal of the champagne.

Later, gentle scents of marzipan and caramel are unveiled, expressions of the emerging maturity.

Palate:

Joyful vitality at the opening thanks to the adjusted dosage with 4 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement, highlighted by a soft minerality, the one of the terroir of Vincelles.

Remarkable presence, coupled with delicate spicy notes, definitely the subtle characteristic signs of the passage of 20% of the base wines in oak barrels.

Balanced finish, underlined by a delicious bitterness.

Very great length on the palate.

With this cuvée L’Esprit Nature - Cuvée Bio Extra Brut, Sébastien Barbier, cellar master of the Champagne house H. Blin, was able to accompany with sensitivity his grapes of Chardonnay according to the principles of organic viticulture and vinification, to reveal this first organic cuvée of the house, symbol of his commitment to respect the environment. 

Ideal to accompany the aperitifs and meals among friends, with a dory cooked with sea urchins, for example.
