Charles Dufour Bulles de Comptoir #13 Cuisine Du Dimanche Extra Brut Magnum

Grape: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc
Vintage: NV
Type: Sparkling

Presented in a magnum format for slow development, this natural Champagne is an organic blend of pinot noir, chardonnay, and pinot blanc. Winemaker Charles Dufour uses sixty-five percent barrel-fermented base harvest fruit, blended with solera reserves and historic family library stocks. Relying on hand-harvesting and spontaneous native yeast fermentations, the winemaking avoids synthetic cellar modifications. Bottled without added sulfites, it matures for over a year before a low-dosage disgorgement.

It radiates a pale straw color with silver highlights and a persistent stream of bubbles. The nose opens with aromas of red currant, fresh apricot, and sweet fruit compote. On the palate, the full-bodied frame is rich and velvety, balancing intense orchard fruit flavors with a sharp wave of volcanic salinity. The oak integration is seamless, providing a warming base without heavy wood flavors. It finishes long, dry, and elegant, leaving a clean mineral impression.
