Jacques Lassaigne Sauvage Brut Nature, Champagne, France Leon Boesch preserving purity and flinty detailEmmanuel Lassaigne draws on chalk rich parcels in MontgueuxChardonnay from Le Cotet and Pinot Noir from Marivatto craft this Brut Nature. Chardonnay is foot tread, Pinot Noir sees a short maceration, and fermentations are spontaneous, with levage in older barrels and minimal sulfur; bottling is unfined and unfiltered. The result is a precise, chalk driven Champagne with citrus lift, a subtle red fruited savor, and a dry, saline finish. 1 btl per
