Crémant de Limoux Extra Brut Tradition - Jean Louis Denois

A Crémant de Limoux Extra Brut from Jean Louis Denois, made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown near the Pyrenees with biological and biodynamic criteria. After a first fermentation in steel, it re-ferments in bottle with Chenin must and ages on the lees for 36 months. The dosage is 5 g/l. In the glass it is pale straw yellow with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose has fresh apple and pineapple, floral notes and a light buttery, bread-like finish. The palate is slender and medium-bodied, fresh and soft, ending with a savoury, lingering finish. It suits fish and shellfish dishes, sushi and carpaccio.
