On the nose, it is an explosion of purity: notes of candied lemon, fresh ginger, and quince merge with an almost tactile chalky and saline undertone. With aeration, hints of toasted almond and dried flowers emerge. On the palate, it is sharp, vibrant, and millimetrically precise. The absence of dosage (Nature) enhances a mineral savoriness that defines its structure, leading to an endlessly fresh and clean finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe \"Sulfite-Free\" Philosophy\u003c\/b\u003e Made from Chardonnay grapes cultivated using \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"69\"\u003ebiodynamic\u003c\/b\u003e methods, L'Opiniâtre ferments spontaneously and ages in small oak barrels. The choice not to add sulfites allows the wine to express a unique aromatic vitality, while maintaining impeccable stability thanks to the excellent quality of the raw material. It is a lively Champagne, a faithful mirror of the 2016 vintage, characterized by great balance and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/b\u003e This Champagne is the ideal match for dishes that celebrate the raw ingredients: scampi crudités, oysters, kingfish sashimi, or salt-baked sea bass.
