"L'Extravertie" is 100% Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs. Brothers Antoine and Clement follow organic and evironmentally-friendly farming techniques (including aromatherapy and some biodynamic principles). Aged on the lees for 10 months in stainless steel vat and oak barrel followed by 3-4 years sur latte. 3 to 5g / litre (EXTRA-BRUT) and unfined and ulfiltered. The result is a very fine, elegant Blanc de Blancs with aromas of buttered brioche opening upto chalky notes, grapefruit and white-fleshed fruits. The palate is fresh and succulent with a delicious lemon-flavouredacidity and a chalky, elegant and creamy minerality. Enjoy as an aperitif with delicate and tasty finger food fromthe sea (prawns, oysters) or from the land (thin slices of Italian cured hams), or with fruity pressed cheeses such as young gouda or mimolette.
About: In the heart of Cramant, Pertois-Lebrun is a family-owned estate run by brothers Clément and Antoine. Their 9.5-hectare vineyard is spread across the five Grand Cru villages of Cramant, Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger, Chouilly, Oger, and Oiry.
They approach work on the vines with respect and humility, and always with the greatest care. Their ambition is to express all the finesse and elegance of chardonnay, as well as revealing the variety and individuality of their 44 plots, representing a real mosaic of terroirs, each with their own separate identity.
To achieve this they use eco-responsible winegrowing techniques, giving priority to the life of the plant and the microbiological composition of our soils, whilst voluntarily reducing the vigour and yields of their vines.
