Clément & Fils Les Cornambeaux Extra brut 2018
A monumental Champagne for artisanal rigor. The olfactory profile alternates between crisp yellow fruits and notes of brioche and marine minerality of extreme refinement. On the palate it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the verticality of the Extra Brut dosage and the softness of Pinot Meunier. A display of style that celebrates the new face of the Marne winemakers.
Clément & Fils Les Cornambeaux Extra brut 2018
The Champagne "Les Cornambeaux" Extra Brut 2018 by Clément & Fils is an exceptionally precise single-vineyard expression, coming from a single plot located in Coincy. The Clément brothers cultivate vines here that are nearly fifty years old on soils characterized by green sands and clays, giving the wine a unique profile. The generous and luminous 2018 vintage allowed the Pinot Meunier (the absolute star) and the Chardonnay to reach splendid maturity. On the nose, it is a symphony of finesse: notes of syrupy pear, apricot, and citrus zest blend with deep hints of fresh pastry, toasted almond, and a distinctive chalky, saline streak. On the palate, it is sumptuous in tension; the entry is broad and crisp, supported by a creamy bubble that caresses the palate, while the marked citrus acidity and low dosage extend the finish toward notes of ginger and pure minerality..
