Jacques Lassaigne Sauvage Brut Nature, Champagne, France Capurro SyrahSoil: calcareous marlEmmanuel Lassaigne draws on chalk rich parcels in MontgueuxChardonnay from Le Cotet and Pinot Noir from Marivatto craft this Brut Nature. Chardonnay is foot tread, Pinot Noir sees a short maceration, and fermentations are spontaneous, with levage in older barrels and minimal sulfur; bottling is unfined and unfiltered. The result is a precise, chalk driven Champagne with citrus lift, a subtle red fruited savor, and a dry, saline finish. 1 btl per
