Valentin Leflaive Sigma Champagne AOC Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs 0,75 ℓ

Sigma Champagne by Valentin Leflaive is a Blanc de Blancs made from Chardonnay grapes sourced from various crus in the Côte des Blancs, including Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Avize. The vineyards, situated on clay-limestone and chalky soils with a southeast exposure, help to express the richness and complexity of the terroir.The harvest is done by hand and followed by fractional pressing to select the best portions of the must; fermentation occurs both in stainless steel and oak barrels with a significant presence of reserve wines, while extended aging on the lees gives it structure, finesse, and depth.It boasts a bright, luminous color; the nose is fresh and elegant with notes of white fruit, citrus such as yuzu, flowers like jasmine, and shades of honey and acacia; the palate is creamy and enveloping, with a fine texture and a long, savory finish marked by pronounced minerality.Ideal with refined fish dishes, raw seafood, and light preparations with an aromatic profile.
