Pertois-Lebrun Le Mont de Craie N°17 Extra-Brut Grand Cru

The Le Mont de Craie N°17 Extra Brut Grand Cru is a purist Chardonnay Champagne from a single plot in Chouilly, a Grand Cru village in the Côte des Blancs. Brothers Clément and Antoine Pertois impressively demonstrate here just how clear and mineral-driven a single-vineyard Champagne can be. The wine offers aromas of citrus zest, pear, white flowers, and chalk. On the palate, it is taut, precise, and salty, carried by a fine perlage and remarkable length. Aging on the lees provides structure and depth, while the Extra Brut dosage underscores its straightforward elegance. A Champagne for lovers of mineral clarity, perfect with oysters, sushi, or as a high-level aperitif.
