Vintage Character From the prestigious Champagne appellation, the 2018 Champagne Nathalie Falmet 'Terra' Blanc de Blancs showcases the brilliance of a warm and sunny growing season. The excellent 2018 vintage provided ideal ripening conditions, yielding Chardonnay grapes of superb concentration and balanced acidity. Sourced from the unique clay-limestone soils of Rouvres-les-Vignes in the Côte des Bar, this exceptional terroir gives the wine a rich, expressive depth combined with a sharp, saline-driven mineral tension that defines its distinctive sense of place.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This pristine Brut Nature Champagne offers a captivating aromatic profile of crisp green apple, Meyer lemon, white peach, and a delicate hint of white blossoms. On the palate, the unique terracotta aging delivers a beautifully textured, mineral-driven mouthfeel with layers of toasted almond, subtle sourdough, and crushed chalk. It finishes with an electric, saline freshness. Pair this versatile, elegant sparkler with pan-seared sea scallops in a citrus-herb butter or classic Chinese steamed turbot with light soy sauce.
