Clandestin Champagne Austral Brut Nature 2019 disgorgement 2022

Champagne Clandestin Austral Brut Nature 2019 Disgorgement 2022 is an authentic expression of Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bar, the fruit of a project by Benoît Doussot and Bertrand Gautherot. The grapes come from organic vines over twenty years old, grown on clay-limestone soils and facing west, where slow ripening lends freshness, tension, and complexity.

Vinified naturally, with spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts, aging in oak barrels, and bottling without fining or dosage, Austral stands out for its purity and precision. The 2022 disgorgement yields a luminous champagne with a fine and persistent perlage, aromas of red fruits, ripe citrus, and mineral notes.

On the palate, it's taut, energetic, and savory, with vibrant acidity and a long, elegant finish. Perfect as a refined aperitif, it pairs well with ostrich, fish carpaccio, sushi, and shellfish, but it also pairs surprisingly well with seasonal vegetarian dishes and fresh cheeses.

Champagne Austral Brut Nature 2019 Disgorgement 2022 is the ideal choice for those looking for a natural and artisanal champagne, capable of revealing the true soul of Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bar.
