Champagne Éphémère 029

The Éphémère project was born from the idea of ​​creating an exclusive cuvée each year through the collaboration of some of Champagne’s most talented winemakers. For the 029 cuvée, Frédéric Savart and Alexandre Chartogne combined their profound knowledge of the most suitable terroirs of the Côte des Blancs, selecting Grand Cru parcels of extraordinary quality. The result is an extremely limited production that perfectly embodies the two producers’ artisanal philosophy: utmost respect for the vineyard, precision in the cellar, and an authentic expression of the terroir.

Champagne Éphémère 029 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes from the prestigious Grand Cru vineyards of Avize and Cramant, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. The extraordinary richness of the chalky soils gives the wine a pronounced minerality, while aging on the lees enhances its complexity and finesse. The Extra Brut dosage brings out all the purity of the fruit and the precision of the terroir, resulting in a refined, profound Champagne with great flavor tension.

In the glass, it displays a brilliant straw yellow color, permeated by a fine and persistent perlage. The nose opens with elegant aromas of crisp apple, ripe pear, citrus, lemon zest, mandarin, white flowers, and delicate chalky and mineral nuances. On the palate, it is taut, precise, and creamy, supported by a vibrant freshness and a long, savory finish that accompanies the citrus and mineral notes. Perfect as a classy aperitif, it pairs magnificently with oysters, shellfish, fish tartare, amberjack and tuna carpaccio, sushi and sashimi, scampi, lobster, raw seafood, seafood risotto, and soft fresh cheeses.
