Champagne Franck Pascal "Quinte Essence" Extra Brut 2010

Champagne Franck Pascal “Quinte Essence” Extra Brut 2010 is a beautifully aged, biodynamic vintage from the Vallée de la Marne, made with 60% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Meunier. 

It ferments naturally (no chaptalisation or additives), partly in barrel, and spends around 48 months on its fine lees before disgorgement.

On the nose, expect rich yellow orchard fruit, honeyed flowers (acacia, chamomile) and delicate brioche, while the palate is powerful and vinous yet marked by fresh minerality and crisp structure. 

The finish is long, driven by limestone and silex notes, underpinned by elegant tension and complexity
