Champagne Brut Nature
Cleobuline - Chapitre #2

The Champagne Cléobuline – Chapitre #2 by Julie Dufour takes shape in Landreville, in the Côte des Bar, as the natural evolution of a project dedicated to expressing individual vineyard parcels. This Blanc de Blancs cuvée comes from the Les Ormes parcel, planted with Chardonnay, offering a precise and luminous interpretation of the terroir. The certified organic approach and careful vineyard management enhance the clay-limestone soils, capable of conveying tension, depth, and finesse.

This edition, from the 2020 harvest, involves vinification and fermentation with minimal intervention, using both stainless steel and oak to preserve integrity and definition. After bottling, it undergoes lees aging for a minimum of 24 months, contributing to structure and complexity while maintaining energy and precision. The absence of final dosage, in Brut Nature style, highlights a taut, direct, and vertical profile.

On the palate, Cléobuline – Chapitre #2 stands out for its fine and persistent perlage and a profile that evokes fresh citrus, white flowers, and notes of white-fleshed fruit, with hints of almond and chalky nuances. It shows incisive freshness, supported by a vibrant texture and a long, saline finish, where the mineral component carries through with elegance.
