PERTOIS LEBRUN NO. 13 EXTRA BRUT DERRIERE AIGU DERRIERE LE MONT AIGU

VINOUS 96 POINTS - "Picked in Chouilly from a south-facing mid-slope parcel with vines over 50 years old, with 77% of the base wines fermented in stainless steel and the rest in oak. The wine spent nine years on lees. Chalk, lemon and wet oyster shell immediately pull you deep into the soil with the first sniff. The second sniff reveals deeper sourdough savoriness and salty tang. The palate expands with fine, salty, savory, foam that tingles in the chalky depth. The chalkiness and visceral nature arrest you. A gastronomic Champagne…make sure the oysters are shucked."
