Pascal Mazet Unique Brut Premier Cru NV

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

This premier cru grower Champagne is a unique blend combining forty-five percent pinot meunier, thirty percent chardonnay, and twenty-five percent pinot noir. Sixty percent of the cuvée relies on a mature base harvest, while the remainder draws from a single fifty-hectoliter solera foudre. Spontaneous fermentation relies on native wild yeasts in neutral vessels, avoiding modern adjustments. It undergoes traditional secondary fermentation and extended bottle aging before a low-dosage disgorgement of four grams per liter.

It pours a pale gold hue with a highly persistent, fine mousse that coats the mouth evenly. The nose is open and evolved, offering complex aromatics of cooked apple, toasted brioche, dried pears, and hazelnuts. A medium-to-full-bodied frame pairs a rich, creamy texture with a sharp beam of limestone acidity. Savory layers of autolytic notes fold into a dense, texturally satisfying mouthfeel that shows excellent balance. It finishes clean and dry, leaving a lingering, mouthwatering trace.
