Champagne Clandestin
Trilogie KM-1
The Champagne Trilogie by Clandestin is an exercise in style signed by Benoît Doussot, a vigneron with Burgundian training transplanted to the Côte des Bar, where he set out to tell the terroir like never before in the Barséquanais. The idea is to deliver the pure expression of each geological layer of the coteau, the result of millions of years of sedimentation, leaving the soil as the only differentiating variable between the three cuvées. The result is a Blanc de Noirs from Pinot Noir grapes on a Kimmeridgian matrix, from vines located in the surroundings of Landreville, where the deep limestone delivers saline verticality and expressive clarity.
This edition KM-1, from the 2022 harvest, comes from the lower part of the slope, where the Kimmeridgian limestone recalls the magic of Chablis and gives a saline verticality of rare clarity. Vinification and spontaneous fermentation take place by gravity in the vigneron's new cellar, with maturation in 600-litre French oak barrels following the Burgundian approach learnt in Meursault. After tirage follows an ageing on the lees of at least 18 months, with no final dosage, in Brut Nature style, a choice that lets the soil speak without any filter.
On tasting, KM-1 appears chiselled and taut, with a very fine perlage that precedes a dense and vibrant mouth, supported by a deep saline matrix. On the palate emerges a vertical structure, crossed by notes of crisp red fruit, citrus and a mineral trail that recalls wet limestone, sustained by a sharp and clear-cut acidity. The finish is long, persistent and chalky, with a savoury and iodised trail that confirms the transparency of the cru and a rare ageing capacity, estimated at around fifteen years.
