Clandestin Champagne Austral Brut Nature 2020 disgorgement 2023

Champagne Clandestin Austral Brut Nature 2020 Disgorged 2023 was born in the Côte des Bar from a project by Benoît Doussot and Bertrand Gautherot. Made with 100% Pinot Noir from organic vines over twenty years old grown on clay-limestone soils, it expresses a pure and elegant character.

The winemaking process follows a natural approach: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, aging in oak barrels, and bottling without fining or dosage. The 2023 disgorgement yields a luminous champagne with fine bubbles, aromas of citrus, red fruits, and mineral accents, enriched with spicy nuances.

On the palate, it's taut, fresh, and vibrant, with crisp acidity and a long, savory finish. Ideal as a gourmet aperitif, it pairs well with oysters, sushi, seafood carpaccio, shellfish, and refined vegetarian dishes. Austral represents the true essence of artisanal Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bar.
