Crafted using the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, it displays a golden colour with a fine perlage. The bouquet reveals hints of dried fruit and hazelnut, evolving into notes of coffee and spices. On the palate, it is dry, rich and balanced, with a finish of excellent persistence. Its bold character pairs perfectly with \u003cstrong\u003eshellfish, lean fish and mature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt originates in Mareuil-sur-Ay, in the Montagne de Reims, a prime area for \u003cstrong\u003eChampagne\u003c\/strong\u003e. Antoine Bouvet practises \u003cstrong\u003ebiodynamic and sustainable viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e on vines over forty years old. The \u003cstrong\u003echalk-rich limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e give the wine a linear profile and marked precision. This agronomic sensitivity allows for concentrated grapes, which impart a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003earomatic and territorial complexity\u003c\/strong\u003e to the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction follows a handcrafted, minimal intervention philosophy. The must undergoes \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e, preserving the varietal character. Before the secondary fermentation required by the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, the base wine rests for \u003cstrong\u003etwenty-four months of ageing in barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e to stabilise its structure. The choice of \u003cstrong\u003ezero dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the Extra Brut style, enhances its purity and ensures excellent ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Mareuil-sur-Ay from the legacy of Guy Bouvet, this \u003cstrong\u003e2018 Vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e encapsulates the essence of the Montagne de Reims. The grapes, sourced from over forty-year-old vines cultivated biodynamically on chalky soils, result in a \u003cstrong\u003erare production\u003c\/strong\u003e of around six hundred bottles. The artisanal approach involves spontaneous fermentations with indigenous yeasts and twenty-four months of maturation in tank. Thanks to this minimal intervention, a magnificent \u003cstrong\u003eExtra Brut\u003c\/strong\u003e with zero dosage is created, able to combine the mineral elegance of the terroir with a pure and profoundly sustainable sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Antoine Bouvet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44501801369771,"sku":"51600","price":93.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/antoine-bouvet-champagne-extra-brut-2018_51600_1_c20c0b09-123d-4d26-af74-de911330d932.webp?v=1773734871","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-dk\/products\/antoine-bouvet-champagne-extra-brut-2018","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
